This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $269,263 to investigate methods for reducing the risk of postnatal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in preterm infants exposed to CMV-positive breast milk. The two key objectives are: 1) Evaluating the pharmacokinetics and neutralizing efficacy of an anti-CMV antibody added to CMV-positive breast milk, and 2) Characterizing...
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), aims to develop a biomimetic, 3D mammary lobe system that can faithfully replicate in vivo breast milk synthesis processes. The $154,796 award, effective April 1, 2025 through July 31, 2027, will enable the principal investigator at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to pursue two key objectives:...
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), provides $246,390 to Cornell University to conduct research on the regulation of human milk production and its relationship with infant growth. The key objectives are to: Characterize the function of the gene C6ORF15 and its role in increasing milk production using cell line and mouse models. Explore factors...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $451,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the therapeutic potential of maternal breast milk components for preterm white matter injury (WMI). The key objectives are to: 1) Perform high-throughput screening of breast milk components to identify pro-myelinating compounds, and 2) Test...
This Project Grant award, 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), supports a comparative study investigating the mechanistic effects of human milk feeding on neurodevelopment in preterm infants. The $239,399 award to the Regents of the University of Idaho will utilize a neonatal piglet model to examine how human milk feeding influences intestinal barrier function,...

This Project Grant award, totaling $763,965, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program. The funding supports research to investigate how metal exposures during critical windows of mammary gland development may alter the microRNA (miRNA) composition of human breast milk, and how these changes could contribute to accelerated growth and increased risk of obesity in early childhood. The...
