Highlights
- Two ASU researchers have received NIH awards totaling nearly $3.5 million in federal funding.
- The grants target quantum sensing and microbial research, both with potential human health applications.
- A separate NIH award of $404,180 to ASU researcher Glen Gerald Dsouza for microbial community research was recorded July 13.
- ASU has not announced a timeline for research milestones or publication targets.
Two Arizona State University researchers have secured nearly $3.5 million in National Institutes of Health awards to advance quantum sensing and microbial research, according to an ASU news release published July 30.
The federal investment is directed at work the university says has the potential to improve human health and create new quantum technologies.
A separate NIH grant recorded in the federal awards database adds context to ASU's broader research pipeline: the National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded $404,180 to ASU-Tempe researcher Glen Gerald Dsouza for a project titled "Operating principles and consequences of T6SS mediated predation in microbial communities," with a project period running July 13, 2026 through March 31, 2031, under project number 1R35GM165547-01.
The ASU release does not name the two researchers receiving the nearly $3.5 million in combined awards, nor does it identify the specific NIH institutes or grant numbers behind the funding.
