This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program, provides $427,425 to the University of Southern California (USC) to maintain, enrich, and support the continuation of the Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES) cohort study. The MADRES cohort is a prospective pregnancy study of over 1,000 predominantly low-income, Hispanic/Latino...
This $128,817 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota supports a research project to comprehensively profile the composition of human breast milk and investigate its impacts on infant development. The project aims to identify genetic variants influencing milk metabolites, assess the effects of human cytomegalovirus reactivation in...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,376,850 to conduct research on interventions to protect HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants against severe infections. The research aims to: Define immunogenomic and metabolomic profiles that explain HEU immune dysfunctions; Compare gut and respiratory microbiome...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under CFDA Program 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to identify the molecular mechanisms linking lactation to metabolism. The $751,710.10 award, granted on August 15, 2024, will fund investigations to understand the effect of maternal gestational diabetes on mammary epithelial cell (MEC) progenitor insulin signaling and MEC profiles, as...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $246,390 to Cornell University to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms regulating human milk production and composition. The research aims to elucidate physiological factors contributing to insufficient human milk production, a prevalent issue that leads to...
This federal Project Grant award of $763,895 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program aims to study the complex associations between environmental exposures, social determinants of health, and mammographic features predictive of breast cancer risk. The primary awardee, President and Fellows of Harvard College through its Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, will collect and analyze digital mammographic...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $229,968 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Washington. The grant supports a research project to examine the association between adverse maternal factors during pregnancy, such as older age, depression, anemia, HIV infection, and nutritional status, and their impact on human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and child...
