OpportunityTitle: Biosensors in the Oral Cavity (R21)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support pilot and feasibility studies for interdisciplinary research in development of new or adaptation of existing biosensors for noninvasive, dynamic, real-time monitoring of physiological processes in the human body, using the oral cavity as the sensing site. Biosensors developed through this FOA should be able to assess health and disease states by receiving and analyzing signals from oral fluids, oral and dental tissues, cells and microorganisms, and compounds found in or passing through the oral cavity. Additional capabilities of these biosensors may include wireless and remote communication of outputs, local processing and/or transmitting outputs to a data collection center, and communication with drug delivery devices that can dynamically dispense therapeutic compounds to tissues in accordance with immediate physiological needs of an individual.
