Project Grant 1538918

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP), under CFDA Program 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs, provides $2,000,000 to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to fund the acquisition of a next-generation Siemens 7 Tesla (7T) whole-body human MRI system. The new 7T MRI system will replace MGH's existing 22-year-old prototype 7T scanner, providing...

The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to upgrade their existing 14 Tesla preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to a 15.2 Tesla Bruker magnet. This high-field MRI upgrade will support over 20 NIH-funded research projects at the institution, enabling cutting-edge animal and ex-vivo human brain imaging to advance the...

HYQ Research Solutions, LLC was awarded a $998,104 Cooperative Agreement from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop high dielectric constant materials for accelerating 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging. The two-year award will support the company's efforts to increase MRI signal-to-noise ratio by over 50% and cut scan times in half through incorporating high dielectric constant materials into clinical imaging coils. This novel...

This $2,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will enable the acquisition of a new 15.2-Tesla small-animal MRI scanner at Washington University in St. Louis. This state-of-the-art instrument will replace an aging 11.74-Tesla MRI system that has become unsustainable due to excessive liquid helium consumption. The new 15.2-Tesla scanner will provide a 2.6-fold increase in signal-to-noise ratio compared to...

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372), awarded a $287,526 Cooperative Agreement to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to support the "CONNECTOME 2.0: A BRAIN TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION AND DISSEMINATION RESOURCE FOR ULTRA-HIGH GRADIENT MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF HUMAN BRAIN CIRCUITS ACROSS...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $700,002 Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop a centralized high-performance computing (HPC) system. This 3-year Project Grant, awarded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will provide New Mexico Tech researchers, educators, and students with exponentially more computational resources to conduct cutting-edge research and train the...

This five-year, $3.74 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund the development of a next generation 9.4 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system for translational neuroscience research. Awarded on September 1, 2021 to the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Inc., which will perform the work through its Nathan S. Kline Institute division, the grant will support the construction and optimization of an advanced MRI...

This Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) project from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to establish a new high-performance computing (HPC) facility with balanced central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) nodes at the University of South Carolina (USC). The $1,100,000 award will significantly enhance the existing HPC resources at USC, boosting research across diverse fields such as materials science, engineering, and...

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a $185,625 Project Grant under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286). The funding supports the development of a novel "Multiphoton Parallel Transmit for MRI" technology to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality and resolution at 7...

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to fund the purchase of a next-generation 3 Tesla human MRI scanner. This new system will replace an obsolete 16+-year-old MRI scanner at MGH's Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, providing enhanced performance and capabilities to support the center's extensive...
