- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded California Institute of Technology $100,228 on December 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct research identifying molecular and structural cues introduced at fertilization that influence early cell fate biases in the mammalian embryo. The research traces how sperm-derived components and the second polar body establish asymmetries as early as the 2-cell stage,...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $123,957 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Projects program (CFDA 93.865) for research into how mechanical forces coordinate cell movements during vertebrate gastrulation, specifically examining the Spemann-Mangold organizer's role in establishing germ layers and embryonic axes. The funded research develops and applies...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded California Institute of Technology $128,331 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate neural crest regeneration and its role in reducing the severity of congenital birth defects. The research tests the hypothesis that cranial and cardiac neural crest forming regions can regenerate during a critical developmental period to rescue migratory neural...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded $430,375 to the University of California Santa Cruz on August 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Projects program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate the role of RNA-modifying enzymes in regulating totipotent gene expression during early embryonic development. The research explores how the putative RNA methyltransferase METTL7A1 regulates zygotic genome activation and totipotency in mouse...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of California, San Diego $153,560 on December 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate gene regulatory mechanisms driving totipotency induction in human stem cells. The research examines how RNA splicing dysfunction alters early human development through integrative transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic profiling. The work focuses on...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded The Trustees of Princeton University $315,664 on January 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate how amniotic fluid pressure and composition regulate branching morphogenesis across embryonic organs. The research tests the hypothesis that amniotic fluid couples the rate of branching morphogenesis in organs throughout the embryo, with particular focus on...
