Canaery

Canaery is proud to announce we have been awarded a Phase 1 contract by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Convergence Accelerator! 💪 🔬 🐕 🧠 We've assembled an interdisciplinary team of world-class experts from NYU Langone Health, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Florida International University, University of Virginia and 3DK9 Detection to create a safe odor-detection training substitute for fentanyl, and to to perform field-tests using the Canaery NCI to simultaneously identify fentanyl and smokeless gunpowder in real-world scenarios. The funding and support provided by the the NSF Convergence Accelerator will help speed the commercial development of our enhanced working animals for law enforcement, security and defense organizations, and bring us closer to our vision of making the world a safer and healthier place.

We’re excited to announce that Nicole Gilbo has joined Team Canaery as our new grants specialist! Before joining Canaery, Nicole was a grants specialist at Alachua Habitat for Humanity and worked in Research Administration at the University of Florida and Moffitt Cancer Center. Nicole has successfully identified and secured new funding opportunities and managed proposals and budgets worth millions of dollars from sponsors such as the National Institutes of Health, NASA, the US Department of Defense, and the State of Florida, among others. Previously, she taught ESOL in Taiwan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Nicole is a nature and landscape photographer, and an avid scuba diver working toward her divemaster certification. She also enjoys hiking, art, science, and history.

Today is the day! The Defense TechConnect Innovation Summit & Expo is kicking off in Washington DC National Harbor.
