- This $163,145 Project Grant awarded on August 7, 2025 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), aims to address critical questions pertaining to impaired placentation associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR). The principal investigator, a pediatric and fetal surgeon, will use this 5-year award to develop unique cross-disciplinary skills and...
- This $249,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports research at the University of Florida focused on in utero interventions to prevent adverse metabolic health outcomes, including non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2...
- This $429,000 federal Project Grant award, funded 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), supports research to investigate the gene and environmental influences on placental angiogenesis and severe fetal growth restriction. The University of Colorado-Denver, the awardee organization, will leverage induced pluripotent stem cell technology to better...
- This Project Grant award of $313,955 from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), part of the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research (CFDA 93.307) program, supports the development of a specialized risk-stratification platform and tailored diabetes prevention program for postpartum women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The goal is to reduce the progression to type 2 diabetes among this high-risk population, which...
- This Project Grant award of $226,608.00 from 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) is funding research to identify the mechanistic link between fetal glucagon and placental nutrient delivery. The goal is to establish how fetal glucagon regulates placental lactogen secretion and uterine blood flow as an adaptive mechanism for matching nutrient supply to...
- This Project Grant award of $765,571 from 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), supports research on placental fatty acid metabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The project aims to investigate sexual dimorphism in placental function and its role in adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with GDM, with a focus on understanding the effects of GDM...
- This federal Project Grant award of $147,459 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to address racial and ethnic disparities in diabetes risk after varying glycemia levels during pregnancy. The key focus of the project is to investigate if future diabetes risk after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational glucose intolerance (GGI)...
- 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 on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) awarded a $303,389 Project Grant under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research (CFDA 93.307) program to Mae Health Inc. to develop a digital health platform integrated with a network of Black doulas. The goal is to reduce maternal health disparities among Black Medicaid beneficiaries by providing culturally competent care, targeted symptom monitoring, and access to doula support services. To date, the platform...
- This federal Project Grant award, titled "Examining the Impact of Adverse Social Determinants of Health on Infant Feeding Practices Among Black Women", was provided by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) under the Nursing Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.361). The $178,320 award to the University of Pennsylvania is funding a 1-year individual research training project to develop an independent investigator's expertise in examining the impact of social...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) provides $134,404.00 to support research aimed at understanding the role of genetic factors, maternal and placental lipids, and environmental exposures in fetal growth restriction (FGR) among Black women. The awardee, Washington University, will conduct this research with the goal of defining the key factors contributing to the higher rates of FGR, a leading cause of fetal and neonatal mortality in this population. The project will run from September 2025 to March 2030, allowing the principal investigator to acquire specialized skills in translational lipid metabolism research, genetic data analysis, and fetal growth assessment. This research aims to provide insights that can lead to improved interventions and health outcomes for Black women experiencing FGR.
