The award funds development of the High-Throughput Organoid Platform for Electrophysiology Studies (HOPES)—an integrated, automated system for growing, maintaining, and screening brain organoids at high throughput using multi-electrode array (MEA) technology embedded in a microphysiological system...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Zealous Research LLC is part of the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The project aims to develop a single-chip microfluidic platform to automate and optimize in vitro fertilization (IVF) processes, including sperm selection, sperm capacitation, and egg fertilization. The goal is to create a user-friendly, affordable, and high-throughput platform that can increase IVF success rates and...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded PS-Fertility, Inc. $356,502 on September 15, 2025, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to develop PS-DETECT, a diagnostic assay for male fertility and infertility assessment. PS-DETECT uses phosphatidylserine as a biomarker to quantify fertilization-competent sperm in ejaculate, addressing a gap in conventional semen analysis that clinicians view as providing limited functional...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Worcester Polytechnic Institute $555,371 on June 1, 2026, to develop bioengineered in vitro models of uterine fibroids under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The funded work creates two novel in vitro platforms—one with tunable transport properties and one modeling intramural uterine fibroids surrounded by myometrium—to study how altered signaling from sex hormones (estrogen...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $148,994 to the University of Wisconsin System (operating through its University of Wisconsin - Madison Division) on January 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865, assistance type Project Grant F31HD119998).
