Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Chromologic LLC received a $306,469 Project Grant award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Investigations and Technical Assistance program (CFDA 93.283) to develop the Wearable Heat-Related Injury Risk Analysis (WHERA) System. The award, dated September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2026, supports the research and development of an innovative wearable technology designed to assess and mitigate heat-related injury risks. This project aligns with the CDC's mission to strengthen public health capabilities in disease prevention and control through the development of diagnostic technologies and public health tools.

The WHERA System represents an advancement in occupational and environmental health monitoring, addressing a preventable health condition through innovative technology development. As a minority-owned small business specializing in biomedical engineering and medical device development, Chromologic is leveraging its expertise in advanced diagnostic solutions to deliver a tool intended for use in high-risk occupational and emergency response settings. The one-year project period reflects a focused development phase for this technological initiative under the CDC's Investigations and Technical Assistance program, which supports recipients in controlling health conditions and strengthening prevention capabilities at domestic and international levels.
