This $324,493.13 federal Project Grant award to PATH, a global nonprofit organization, was provided by the Department of the Army under the Pest Management and Vector Control Research (CFDA 12.355) program. The grant supports the research and development of novel repellent textiles to protect deployed military personnel from disease vectors, with a focus on developing advanced technology for army combat uniforms and modular load-bearing equipment. The project, which runs from February 2025 to February 2028, aims to further advance PATH's technology for repellent fabrics that can provide protection against arthropod-borne diseases. This work aligns with the program's objectives of developing innovative interventions to safeguard deployed military personnel from vector-transmitted illnesses.
