The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) awarded the University of Pennsylvania a $350,000 Project Grant on January 30, 2026, under the Basic Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.431) to develop objective, field-deployable fatigue assessment tools. The project addresses a critical capability gap in fatigue management by leveraging saliva-based biomarkers as a non-invasive medium for real-time physiological monitoring. The research will utilize the rich composition of hormones, cytokines, and metabolites present in saliva that correlate with stress, exertion, and sleep deprivation, replacing current subjective assessment methods that rely heavily on self-reporting and observational checklists. This one-year initiative, scheduled for completion by January 29, 2027, will be conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The project contributes to the Army's fundamental research objectives by pursuing high-risk, high-payoff scientific innovation in biotechnology and biomedical sciences with direct relevance to soldier health and operational readiness. The development of objective, field-deployable fatigue metrics aligns with the Basic Scientific Research program's mandate to advance scientific knowledge in disciplines critical to long-term national security needs and enhance the Army's dominant strategic capabilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
