This funding initiative is offering a grant to develop portable sensing devices for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from skin. The SCENT program seeks to create a catalog of VOCs as distinct signatures for at least 20 human diseases and conditions. These devices must utilize artificial intelligence to associate VOC patterns with patient conditions for diagnostic purposes and integrate vital signs. This grant is for advancing E-nose technology and similar sensing methods to enable early disease detection. Successful projects require multidisciplinary collaborations among biomedical engineers, clinicians, data analysts, and other relevant experts, fostering a team science approach to achieve project success and improve health diagnostics.

| Description: | This FOA is seeking applications for a portable sensing device to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs, i.e. scents or odors) emanating from skin and to develop a catalog of VOCs as distinct signatures for at least 20 human diseases and conditions. These sensing devices must be able to associate VOC patterns using artificial intelligence to patients with various conditions for diagnostic purposes along with capabilities to incorporate and integrate vital signs. For VOC monitoring, these sensing devices can be Electronic-nose (E-nose) technology, Gas Chromatography (GC) or any sensing technology able to detect VOC patterns associated with disease. This new program is called SCENT, which stands for Screening for Conditions by E-Nose Technology. To ensure project success, this FOA requires multidisciplinary collaborations and a team science approach. Groups may include a combination of the following: Biomedical engineers, material scientists, biosensing experts, software engineers, chemists, clinicians, clinical trialists, biostatisticians, data analysts and/or other relevant experts in academia and industry. |
