The awardee, Joan & Sanford I Weill Medical College of Cornell University, will build a...

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), supports the development and validation of a novel synthetic imaging technique to improve the efficiency of CT urography examinations. The $1,475,636 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2029, will enable researchers at the University of...

This $358,605 Project Grant awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) will support a pilot study at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The study aims to correlate PET/CT imaging using the novel radiotracer 4-[18F]fluoro-1-naphthol ([18F]4FN) with manifestations of chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The research will assess if [18F]4FN PET/CT can...

The $144,345 federal project grant awarded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS, CFDA 93.350) aims to develop a novel method for quantitative flow assessment within treated arteries using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) sensors integrated into embolization catheters. This project seeks to enhance the clinical utility and safety of catheter embolization procedures, a critical treatment for conditions like hepatocellular carcinoma and uterine fibroids. By...

This Project Grant, awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), is supporting the development and validation of a new super-resolution intravascular ultrasound (SR-IVUS) technology. The goal is to enable high-resolution 3D imaging of the coronary vasa vasorum network and thin fibrous caps of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, which are key indicators of plaque instability and risk of rupture leading to acute coronary...

The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), awarded Resuscitation Innovations LLC (doing business as AdvancedCPR Solutions LLC) a $498,453 Project Grant to commercialize a novel "Head Up Position (HUP) CPR" device called the Elegard.
