This grant from the National Institutes of Health is for developing or adapting new imaging technologies to study the human sense of smell. The goal is to create non-invasive or minimally invasive tools that can provide detailed images of the olfactory system, which is the part of the body responsible for our sense of smell. This is important for understanding how smell disorders occur and how they can be diagnosed more accurately.
Who it's for: This grant is for organizations like universities, small businesses, nonprofits, and government entities that can bring together experts in fields such as olfaction, biomedical imaging, and bioengineering to develop advanced imaging technologies for the olfactory system.
