That same year, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Bose received the CAREER award in 2002, the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers (PECASE) award in 2004 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for her work on nanoscale calcium phosphates for bone implants, drug delivery. The following year, she co-received a $750,000 grant to establish a biomedical materials research laboratory at WSU with colleagues. After 2009, Bose and her research team discovered they could strengthen calcium phosphate by adding silica and zinc oxide. Based on this discovery, the team began using a 3D printer to allow the mixture to help new cells grow, and eventually replacement bone tissue. In 2013, Bose, with her colleagues received a $1.8 million National Institutes of Health interdisciplinary grant for a period of five year to focus on bone implants inside the human body.
