Funding Opportunity Number: RFA-HL-14-025 Opportunity Category: DiscretionaryFunding Instrument Type: GrantCategory of Funding Activity: HealthCFDA Number: 93.839Eligible Applicants Small businessesAgency Name: HHS-NIH11Closing Date: Feb 10, 2014Award Ceiling: $225,000Expected Number of Awards: 1Creation Date: Nov 18, 2013Funding Opportunity Description: This FOA encourages applications to develop microfluidic devices to analyze blood for factors related to the thrombotic, transfusion, and/or hemostatic status of pediatric/neonatal patients. Platforms should support clinical and/or research applications. Microfluidic designs that are multifunctional, with the capacity to perform multiple assays on a single blood sample, are of interest. Use of these devices could significantly reduce levels of phlebotomy-induced blood loss in pediatric/neonatal patients.
