This federal Project Grant award of $622,901 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports research to evaluate the efficacy of the Improving Participation After Stroke Self-Management-Rehabilitation (IPASS-R) program. The goal is to improve self-efficacy, activity performance, quality of life, and community engagement outcomes for individuals with sub-acute stroke, as compared to a general...
The University of Southern California received a $647,043 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to conduct a cross-sectional observational study examining the relationship between post-stroke apathy and mobility. The overarching objective is to determine the association between post-stroke apathy and two aspects of mobility - habitual gait speed and community mobility - and...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $147,486 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to investigate how haptic interaction and robotic rehabilitation can improve community-based stroke rehabilitation. The key objectives...
This Project Grant award of $192,500 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 supports research to define the contribution of endothelial cell sphingolipid metabolism to outcomes of acute ischemic stroke in mice. The award, effective December 1, 2024, will enable the University of Utah to leverage innovative murine models and novel ceramide biosynthesis...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $414,376 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study the modulation of beta oscillatory rhythms in stroke patients to promote corticomuscular circuit function. The key objectives are to determine the modulatory effects of beta-burst repetitive...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $308,000 will support research to identify and measure non-stroke symptoms associated with carotid artery stenosis in older patients. The project aims to use established NIH assessment tools to evaluate quality of life, cognitive function, and other patient-reported outcomes in patients with carotid artery disease, including those who have undergone prior medical or surgical treatment. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $160,000 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Northwestern University supports research to directly evaluate the neural pathways involved in post-stroke hemiparesis. The objective is to generate fMRI data capturing activity in the corticospinal tract (CST) and cortico-reticulospinal tract (CRST) during unilateral hand-grasping tasks with the paretic versus...
The University of Utah was awarded a $607,323 federal Project Grant by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant's objective is to understand the components underlying reactive balance deficits in people with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and their impact on daily life. The research will examine how mTBI affects reactive balance during standing,...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a 5-year, $492,869 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to test the effects of a 12-week modified cardiac rehabilitation program on physical and psychosocial function in community-dwelling stroke survivors with and without post-stroke depression. The project, titled "Modified Cardiac Rehabilitation to Enhance...
