More than 80 startups funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation are creating technology solutions to enhance the detection and treatment of COVID-19.
Earlier this year, the Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer program solicited proposals for the development of new technologies, products, processes and services with the potential to impact the nation’s and world’s ability to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. To date, NSF has awarded more than $15 million to dozens of startups that are putting their technology to work to address this global pandemic.
“Startups nationwide responded with creativity and a diversity of experiences to create innovative technology solutions in the COVID-19 crisis,” said Andrea Belz, director for the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships. “NSF-funded solutions have the potential to make a significant impact in the fight against COVID and future pandemic threats.”
