Opportunity Information: Apply for PD 15 7909
The Nano Biosensing program offers funding for fundamental engineering research focused on creating devices and methods for measuring and quantifying biological analytes. Proposals that utilize emerging nanotechnology are particularly encouraged. Key areas of interest include:
- Development of multifunctional sensor platforms that outperform existing measurement technologies. - Innovative transduction mechanisms and designs for sensors capable of detecting pathogens and toxins in foods, water, and biological samples without sample preparation. - Highly selective bio-recognition elements that achieve zero false negatives in detection. - Nano biosensors for studying biomolecular interactions, transport processes, and other biological phenomena in their native conditions. - Fundamental research on surface functionalization and stability of bio-recognition molecules at sensor interfaces.
Proposals should emphasize the importance and potential societal or industrial impacts of the work, as well as its novelty and transformative potential. Incremental improvements to existing technologies are not supported, and proposals lacking experimental characterizations of sensor responses are discouraged.
Innovative ideas outside these areas may be considered, but prior consultation with the Program Director is recommended to ensure they qualify for review. The duration of grants is typically one to three years, with an average annual award size around $100,000. Submissions related to water quality might be co-supported by the Environmental Engineering program, while photonic nanosensors for medical uses should go to the Biophotonics program.
It is important for submissions to align with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide, as non-compliant proposals will be returned without review. Additionally, proposals should be submitted during the specified proposal window to be considered.Apply for PD 15 7909
