Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF): Multiple opportunities

* Fault Detection Algorithms for Risk Mitigation in Artificial Pancreas Systems
The objective is to identify algorithmic approaches that mitigate system errors and ensure reliability

and efficacy of artificial pancreas systems. Funding: up to $1M of milestone-based funding for up to 2

years.
* Insulin Sensor Initiative
The objective of this initiative is to identify feasible ways to detect ambient circulating levels of

insulin to better guide insulin dosing in conjunction with blood glucose levels and ultimately improve

AP system control. Ideally, such a system would provide ambient insulin levels in real-time. However,

episodic (i.e. incorporation into a BG or Ketone meter) insulin level quantification would also be

valuable). Applications that have clear line-of-sight to commercial embodiments will be prioritized.
Funding: up to $1M of milestone-based funding for up to 2 years.
