The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the Miniaturization and Automation of Tissue Chip Systems (MATChS) through their SBIR program. The goal of this funding opportunity is to support the development of benchtop, portable, automated systems that maintain 3D tissue constructs and provide biologically relevant outputs of tissue health and function. The technology should be easy to use, have integrated sensors, and enable rapid and reproducible high-throughput analysis. The project should also focus on automation and miniaturization, with the potential for remote monitoring and real-time biosensing. The funding opportunity is open for Phase I, Phase II, Fast-Track, and Direct to Phase II grant applications. The project duration spans multiple years, with application due dates in February of each year. More information can be found on the grants.gov website.
