Miniaturization and Automation of Tissue Chip Systems (MATChS)
National Institutes of Health
Description
This grant opportunity supports small businesses in developing MATChS through a cooperative agreement. Projects should focus on creating tools and technologies for high-throughput automated processes that include on-line sensing, rapid data acquisition, and analysis to minimize manual work. Successful projects will lead to more widely available miniaturized automated tissue chip platforms that can be used in drug development and various biomedical research applications.
This NOFO provides support using the SBIR cooperative agreement mechanisms for the development of MATChS. Applications in response to this NOFO would include those proposing research and development of tools and turnkey technologies for higher throughput automated measures with on-line sensing, …
