- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Cedars-Sinai Medical Center $190,321 on August 15, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to investigate the neurophysiology of cognitive control and its development using single unit intracranial recordings in pediatric patients with epilepsy. The research examines how adaptive behavioral control develops during childhood and is instantiated by...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Virginia Commonwealth University $194,907 on July 10, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to support a mentored career development project identifying genetic modifiers of disease severity in myotonic dystrophy type 1. Dr. Samuel Carrell, an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University, leads the research effort. The award...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center $228,420 on September 1, 2026, under the K23 career development grant program to support research quantifying motor network dynamics in pediatric dystonia. The award funds a five-year physician-scientist training and research initiative running through August 31, 2031. The candidate will develop brain-based biomarkers to guide and optimize treatment for children with dystonia by integrating neurophysiological analysis, machine learning, and clinical trial methodology. Training components include advanced neurophysiological signal processing and connectivity analysis, statistical and machine learning techniques, and design and leadership of pediatric neurophysiology studies and clinical trials, delivered through coursework, workshops, and mentored research. The primary mentor is Dr. Donald Gilbert, recognized for expertise in child neurology, movement disorders, and pediatric neuromodulation. Co-mentors Dr. Steve Wu and Dr. Ernest Pedapati contribute complementary expertise in neuromodulation, quantitative electroencephalography, and translational research. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provides the research environment and clinical infrastructure, with place of performance in Cincinnati, Ohio. The award is funded under CFDA 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders), which supports extramural research from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke including basic and translational neuroscience research.
