- This $158,555 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), aims to develop a first-of-its-kind, personalized, wireless, electronic-free metamaterial interbody fusion cage that can precisely measure forces during spinal fusion in-vivo and transmit the data wirelessly in real-time. The award supports research to design and evaluate the packaged...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), is developing the X-Visual, a sensor to track fracture healing in cannulated screws used for hip fracture fixation. The $299,999 award to Aravis Biotech LLC will cover the design, computational modeling, and initial testing of this innovative device that can non-invasively measure screw bending...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Scripps Health will develop and test prototype "smart" shoulder implants capable of continuously monitoring prosthesis loading conditions in real-time. The $317,259 award aims to create self-powered sensor systems for both humeral stem and glenosphere components, which can provide biofeedback to patients and data to healthcare providers to help reduce the need for revision surgeries in total...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846), provides $830,712.00 to Peer Technologies PLLC to commercialize a novel "Smart Cavity Creator" drill technology for lumbar interbody fusion surgery. The technology aims to create precise cavities in the disc space through a small access shaft, reducing risks associated with...
- This federal Project Grant award of $594,000.00, provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), supports the research and development of a "Skin and Bone Integrated Pylon" (SBIP-3D) technology for direct skeletal attachment of limb prostheses. The project, conducted by Poly Orth International, aims to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of this novel prosthetic attachment approach, which integrates the prosthesis directly with the...
- This $430,152 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The grant will fund the development of a stand-alone simulation platform for designing 3D-printed tissue engineering scaffolds to serve as bone graft substitutes. The platform will combine finite-element modeling, statistical design software, and specialized composite...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $679,995 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to Tennessee Technological University. The funding will support the development of an innovative self-powered smart piezoelectric total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant platform that enables continuous in vivo measurement of joint kinematics and compartmental joint kinetics. This research aims to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $4,817,413 from the Defense Health Agency under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) supports the development of a patient-matched segmental defect implant system with mechanobiologic activation and antimicrobial coating for the treatment of severe fractures. The awardee, The Geneva Foundation, a non-profit research organization based in Tacoma, WA, will execute this 3-year research and development initiative from July 2025 to...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will support the development of the ReselutionTM Hindfoot Intramedullary Nail. This combination product integrates structural support with sustained local antibiotic delivery to prevent infections while stabilizing fractures and fusions in patients with Charcot osteoarthropathy, a severe...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $601,120 to the University of Delaware to conduct a translational validation study of next-generation methods for diagnosing and predicting bone fracture healing. The study will utilize ultrashort echo time magnetic resonance (UTE-MRI) imaging and finite element-based virtual...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $306,722.00 and awarded on September 19, 2025, was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The funding supports the development of a distal femoral fracture (DFF) fixation plate with an implantable, battery-free, wireless sensor to monitor fracture site strains. This technology aims to enable personalized, evidence-based post-operative management and physical therapy for traumatic DFF patients, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes, reducing recovery time, and lowering healthcare costs. The award recipient, Penderia Technologies Inc., is a small business joint venture focused on creating innovative medical solutions to address critical healthcare challenges.
