Project Grant HT94252410363

This Project Grant award of $612,979.00 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Cornell University to investigate the role of acetylcholine signaling in osteocyte mechanotransduction and bone remodeling. The project aims to characterize the anatomical and functional relationship between cholinergic nerves and osteocytes, examine the acute effects of acetylcholine signaling on osteocyte calcium responses to mechanical loading, and explore...

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 $411,941 to Drexel University to conduct research on identifying novel trunk reflex pathways and how they differ after neonatal versus adult spinal cord injury in animal models. The key objectives are to test the hypothesis that the newly discovered contralateral monosynaptic trunk...

Teliatry Inc. received a $768,138 project grant award from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to develop a minimally invasive, single incision, rechargeable spinal cord stimulation system for chronic pain management. The grant was awarded under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program. Through this award, Teliatry will engineer the world's smallest (0.75cc), most cost-effective...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $322,382 to the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. The goals of this collaborative research project are to use computer modeling and high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments to better understand how the incorporation of cobalt (Co) and chromium...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), aims to identify myeloid progenitors that maintain cortical bone mass with age and characterize factors that promote coupling within cortical bone. The $375,100 award, active from Sep 20, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026, supports research at the University of Minnesota to address the significant impact of...

The Spinex Inc. was awarded a $4,719,091 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to develop and clinically validate a transcutaneous electrical spinal cord neuromodulation (TESCON) device to mitigate symptoms of neurogenic bladder resulting from spinal cord injury. The award, made under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will support Spinex in building a commercial...
