Case Western Reserve University has received an $8.4 million contract to perform research and development work on the restoration of motor and sensory functions after hand amputation surgery with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The 30-month study will focus on electrodes and algorithms, electronics and packaging and functional tests on human subjects in laboratory and home settings, the Defense Department said Thursday.
Case Western Reserve University will conduct the research in Ohio, Minnesota, Rhode Island, California and Illinois through Sept. 30, 2018.
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific, San Diego, California, received eight proposals for the contract via the Federal Business Opportunities website.
