- This federal Project Grant award 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) aims to develop a deep learning model to improve the interpretation of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) data and predict fetal acidemia. The $658,761 award to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, a non-profit healthcare provider and academic medical center, will fund the development and...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $430,063 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Delaware. The grant, awarded on August 10, 2025, supports the development of inflammation-targeted, light-responsive nanoparticles that can serve as photoacoustic imaging contrast agents to visualize endometriosis lesions with enhanced sensitivity. This technology...
- The federal Project Grant award, totaling $654,671.00, was provided 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 supports a research project at Yale University examining the role of decidual extracellular vesicles in mediating placental insufficiency, a central feature of obstetrical diseases like fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia. The key...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $423,985 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Illinois to develop a novel non-invasive monitoring system for detecting placental dysfunction and associated pregnancy complications. The funding will support research to utilize extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in maternal blood as biomarkers, using a "target recycling...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $429,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865: Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, to develop a new imaging tool to assess placental hemodynamics during pregnancy. The study aims to determine if Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound can provide a safe, non-invasive, and real-time method...
- 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 support a study to expand and refine a natural language processing (NLP) system to identify documentation patterns in electronic health record (EHR) notes from hospital birthing admissions. The goals are to investigate associations between documentation patterns and morbidity...
This Project Grant award of $184,880 was provided 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 funds research to develop an innovative AI-assisted ultrasound system for early pregnancy localization, particularly in resource-constrained settings with limited access to pelvic ultrasound technology. The project aims to leverage point-of-care ultrasound devices, novel ultrasound collection procedures, and deep learning AI models to improve the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies and enable earlier detection of intrauterine pregnancies. The research is being conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with the award effective from August 6, 2025 through July 31, 2030.
