- This federal Project Grant award of $1,500,424 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will support research to comprehensively characterize pretransplant operation strategies and local conditions across adult kidney transplant programs in the United States. The goal is to understand how certain pretransplant operation practices can impact patient access,...
- This $1,998,582 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support the development of biotechnology to grow cellular brain organoids capable of replicating network and activity observed in the human brain. The research team at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will integrate these brain organoids into an engineered system and program them to solve increasingly complex associative problems, evaluating how this bioengineering...
- This $1,000,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program. The funding supports the development of a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) framework to reduce health outcome variability for breast cancer, particularly among Black women who experience disproportionately higher mortality rates. The key products and services to be delivered...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems provides $625,000 to Duke University to develop an interpretable artificial intelligence framework for improving care of critically ill patients. The framework incorporates novel matching techniques known as Almost-Matching-Exactly to analyze observational data from patient treatment and emulate a randomized controlled trial. By matching each treated patient to similar untreated patients,...
- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports the development of an innovative, intelligent surgical probe for prostate cancer treatment. The project aims to create an edge artificial intelligence (AI) system-on-chip for bioimpedance analysis that can accurately distinguish cancerous from healthy tissue during prostate removal surgery. The novel technology being developed includes an adaptive filter to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,997 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program to Trustees of Boston University. The grant, titled "CAREER: MAKING DOMAIN-SPECIFIC AI MODELS STEERABLE BY LEVERAGING FOUNDATIONAL MODELS," aims to develop new methods to make AI systems more transparent and adjustable for clinical applications. The project focuses on improving the fairness and reliability of medical AI by...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $1,694,532 Project Grant under the "Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health" (CFDA 93.286) program to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS). The grant, titled "AI-LIVER: Advancing Liver Transplantation Through AI-Driven Outcome Prognostication and Normothermic Perfusion Data Exchange," aims to establish an international cohort of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $1,800,000 to Missouri University of Science & Technology to develop an artificial intelligence decision support system for kidney transplant healthcare. The goal is to reduce kidney discard rates by at least 10% by embedding preferences and fairness considerations into AI models used to match donor kidneys with transplant centers. Two subawards totaling $XXX,XXX are provided to Saint Louis University and the United Network for Organ Sharing. Saint Louis University transplant experts will advise on the medical and ethical aspects of the project. The United Network for Organ Sharing will utilize its SimUNET kidney matching simulation platform to design randomized control trials testing the AI system, provide organ transplant data and expertise, recruit participants, and analyze study results. The funding period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026 to support development of the customized AI system and evaluation of its impact on reducing kidney discard rates through simulated matching scenarios.
