This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is funding the development of a comprehensive fentanyl testing device by Taesun, LLC. The $305,369 award aims to create an integrated device that simplifies the process of fentanyl detection, making it more accessible and user-friendly for use in high-risk environments. The device will combine multiple testing steps, such as crushing, measuring, and assaying, into a single, convenient unit. This innovation is intended to improve the accessibility and adoption of fentanyl test strips, which research has shown can significantly impact behavior and reduce overdose risks when used. The project will focus on establishing the technical feasibility, commercial viability, and scientific performance of the device through prototype development, stakeholder feedback, and field testing. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026.
