The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $388,960 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to the Medstar Health Research Institute Inc. to evaluate the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze accelerometry data and gain insights into functional recovery of the upper extremity following distal radius fracture repair. The project aims to train algorithms to differentiate functional versus...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,199,083 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop an AI-driven intervention system that uses multimodal sensing from a smartwatch to guide post-operative patients through recovery procedures. The system aims to help patients manage their recovery, including maintaining appropriate activity levels, pain management, and wound care, through...

ARISE-CARE Project Grant Summary The University of Pittsburgh received a $365,103 Project Grant awarded September 5, 2025, under the Medical Library Assistance program (CFDA 93.879) administered by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to develop artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for automating stroke rehabilitation quality assessment and clinical documentation. The ARISE-CARE (Advancing Rehabilitation for Stroke Patients with AI to Elevate Therapy Care) project...

The National Science Foundation awarded New York University a $100,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support the development of a robust, reliable biomarker for assessing post-stroke motor recovery. Specifically, NYU will design and validate a noninvasive biomarker quantifying the directional information exchange between brain and muscle regions after a stroke. This will be accomplished through analyzing cortical sources involved in...

Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Massachusetts General Hospital $1,290,443 on May 1, 2025, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to conduct a five-year clinical research study defining the neurological substrates of proximal upper extremity motor control and recovery following stroke. The project addresses upper extremity hemiparesis—motor...

Foresightcares Inc. received a $275,992 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop a multimodal artificial intelligence system for remote health monitoring of seniors. The award period is from March 15, 2022 through February 28, 2023.
