This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $739,772 to Cian, Inc. to develop a cilia biomarker kit for brain injury diagnosis and prognosis. The key objectives are to develop monoclonal antibodies targeting two cilia-expressed proteins (Aim 1) and an immunoassay to detect these proteins in human plasma (Aim 2). This will...

This $2,888,616 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under CFDA 93.853 Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, will fund a multi-institutional effort to analytically validate a panel of 7 emerging blood-based biomarkers for monitoring the temporal evolution of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The project will leverage existing blood samples from large TBI studies to assess pre-analytical...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (CFDA 93.433) provides $1,499,997 to the University of Washington to conduct a clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of a novel rehabilitation intervention called Tools for Recovery and Clinical Care (ON-TRACC) in improving quality of life and function for individuals with persistent post-concussive symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury. The study aims to determine if...

The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), a program under the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living, awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to Baylor Research Institute in Dallas, Texas. The grant's objective is to develop and implement an evidence-based educational resource to improve the health and function of children with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). The key products to be delivered under this...

This $2,621,650 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program supports a multi-site clinical trial to test the diagnostic and prognostic utility of a transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) device for critically ill patients with acute disorders of consciousness. The primary goal is to develop standardized TMS-EEG...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, will fund research at the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences) to investigate the mechanisms linking traumatic brain injury (TBI) to subsequent neurodegeneration and dementia. The $1,975,262 award will support a 3-year study...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), under the Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health program (CFDA 93.213), provides $444,816 to evaluate the use of cranial osteopathic manipulative medicine (COMM) as a non-invasive approach to alleviate symptoms and enhance neural tissue recovery for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The research project, conducted by the Edward Via Virginia College of...

The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $379,171 Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports a 2-year research project to investigate cerebrovascular dysfunction and cerebral atrophy in severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). Specifically, the project aims to: 1) Characterize...
