Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.
How we got this date
- NSF lists this award's end date as 30 September 2028.
- NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
- So the final report is due by 28 January 2029.

Abstract
This Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) project pioneers a new class of magnetic soft microrobots capable of locomotion within confined and porous environments, such as biological tissues. Existing microrobots primarily rely on swimming-based propulsion, which becomes ineffective in densely packed, wall-confined environments. In contrast, most mammalian cells migrate through tissues by dramatically altering…
