This $595,934 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will allow Washington State University to develop advanced musculoskeletal models and simulation approaches to investigate the impact of pregnancy on the musculoskeletal system. The research objectives are to: (i) determine how pregnancy and postpartum alter torso and hip muscle mechanical properties, (ii) assess how spine extensors accommodate changes in muscle mechanics and posture during...
The University of South Carolina received a $141,833 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund a qualitative research project examining how biomedical researchers, clinicians and women interpret and negotiate the risks associated with advanced maternal age. Using interviews and text analysis, the university will study the production and dissemination of biomedical knowledge on advanced maternal...
This $474,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research at Duke University to evaluate the impacts of declining public R&D investment and the pivot away from defense innovation in the U.S. The research aims to (i) examine the effects of federally-funded R&D on the development of complex, science-based "deep tech" innovations, and (ii) assess the impacts of major cuts to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) will support research conducted by the Joslin Diabetes Center, Inc. on the effects of maternal exercise during lactation on the composition of human breast milk and infant metabolism. The $657,909 award, with a period of performance from April 2025 to March 2030, will fund three key research aims: Measuring changes in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) totaling $692,141 will fund research to address employment-related barriers to prenatal care for minoritized pregnant patients. The primary awardee, Duke University, will develop and pilot test the PROMOTE (Provider Remote Obstetric-related Employment Education) intervention to educate obstetric clinicians on federal employment...
Duke University was awarded an $825,211 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on August 15, 2021 to be completed by July 31, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the grant will fund Duke University's...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $456,251.00, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The overarching goal of the proposed research is to test the hypothesis that pro-inflammatory mediators produced by maternal adipose tissue (leptin) reduce pro-angiogenic immune cells and factors at the maternal-fetal interface, which can contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes...
This $448,441 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research at Emory University to investigate the role of mediobasal hypothalamic gliosis in gestational weight gain and visceral fat accretion. The primary aim is to provide foundational data on a potential neural mechanism underlying dysregulated or pathological weight gain during...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $427,625 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The grant aims to provide a mechanistic understanding of how maternal obesity affects uterine contractility and energy metabolism during labor and parturition. The researchers will use a mouse model of diet-induced obesity to investigate the impacts of excess fatty acids...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research on the effects of maternal exercise on fetal akinesia-impaired bone and joint development. The $523,064 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania will enable the researchers to determine the cells that respond to maternal exercise to rescue akinesia-impaired fetal development...
