This $178,000 Project Grant award from the 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 develop an early life phenotyping framework for very preterm infants. The research aims to create 'perinatal phenotypes' by integrating variables such as reason for preterm birth, intrapartum care, and neonatal presentation, and then determine how these phenotypes contribute to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $102,168 to support a research study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The study aims to evaluate the effects of state-level initiatives to reduce early-term elective deliveries (EEDS) on maternal and newborn outcomes, as well as disparities in these outcomes. The...
This $1,286,936 federal Project Grant award from the 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 leverage machine learning on publicly available geotagged data to monitor maternal and child health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries where reliable data is scarce. The 5-year project, awarded to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), is focused on investigating neural markers of developmental delays in premature and full-term infants. The $398,115 award will support a longitudinal study to chart brain development using electroencephalography (EEG) during well-baby visits at a primary care clinic and a follow-up lab visit. The...
This federal Project Grant award, with ID K99HD118168, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The $131,085 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University will support research to define the experience-driven neural mechanisms that enhance behavioral performance in male mating behaviors in mice. The project aims to delineate the neural circuits and cellular/molecular...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $160,052 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute. The award will support a 5-year research project led by Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) Salazar, focused on examining how two hospital-level factors - financial health and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) strain - influence variation in neonatal...
This $537,730 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to develop advanced in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for studying infant brain development. The primary objectives are to achieve motion-robust, high-resolution (600mm isotropic) whole-brain quantitative MRI (qMRI) and diffusion MRI (dMRI) within clinically feasible scan...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund a longitudinal study on the effects of neonatal stress on epigenetics and neurodevelopment in very preterm infants. The $600,914.01 award, effective September 1, 2024, will support research conducted by the University of Iowa over a 3-year period through August 31, 2027. The study aims to examine...
This $642,859 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to validate approaches for detecting and predicting pediatric prescribing errors in inpatient settings. The key products and services to be delivered include: Validating an algorithmic approach to detect a broad range of pediatric prescribing errors by comparing the algorithm to expert review of...
This federal Project Grant award, with an ID of K23HD114878, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant, totaling $331,560, will fund research by Dr. Neha S. Joshi at Stanford University to identify clinical benchmarks and quality indicators for the care of late preterm infants during birth hospitalization. The project aims to: 1) evaluate current morbidities and medical interventions for late preterm infants, 2) assess the association between institutional variables and late preterm care outcomes, and 3) develop process, structural, and outcome measures for late preterm infant care. Dr. Joshi will leverage national research networks to achieve these goals and establish herself as an independent expert in optimizing care for this vulnerable patient population. The award period runs from September 30, 2024 to August 31, 2029.
