The University of Michigan, through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, received a $945,000 Project Grant from the John E. Fogarty International Center (FIC) under the International Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.989) to support a four-year implementation science study on wearable sensors for fever detection in children with cancer in Kenya. The award, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, funds Dr. Charles "Nate" Nessle's career development and research initiative addressing critical gaps in fever management and infection control for pediatric oncology patients in resource-constrained settings. The project addresses the challenge of severe healthcare worker shortages that contribute to treatment-related mortality in children with cancer, particularly in settings with poor nurse-to-patient ratios. The deliverables under this grant include: (1) implementation science capacity building and career development for Dr. Nessle through structured training in pragmatic implementation science, choice preference methodologies, and adaptive use of wearable sensor technologies; (2) development and validation of wearable sensor applications for fever detection to reduce the burden on overburdened nursing staff; and (3) research infrastructure and evidence-based practices designed to improve pediatric cancer outcomes in resource-constrained settings, both internationally in Kenya and domestically in underserved U.S. healthcare systems. The award supports mentorship through an assembled team of experts in oncology, implementation science, and wearable sensors, positioning the grantee to lead future implementation initiatives using novel technologies in low-resourced clinical environments.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
