Federal Grant Award Summary Biosyft Inc. received a $301,390 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The company is developing and validating an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven behavioral analysis platform designed to detect addiction-related reward signatures in rodent models through automated multi-view analysis. The platform addresses critical limitations in current substance use research by replacing outdated movement tracking and subjective human annotation with an advanced computer vision system that tracks 29 behavioral points per animal compared to industry standards. This automated approach eliminates manual labeling requirements and standardizes behavioral quantification across laboratory settings. The funded project combines supervised and unsupervised machine learning methodologies to investigate reward-related behaviors during Pavlovian conditioning experiments, with the objective of establishing standardized metrics for reward-seeking behaviors and discovering previously undetectable behavioral patterns indicative of addiction. By validating and expanding AI/ML technology capabilities for behavioral phenotyping applications, the work supports NIDA's mission to advance prevention, diagnosis, and treatment approaches for substance use disorders and drug addiction while addressing the ongoing opioid epidemic and related public health challenges.
