This federal Project Grant award, with ID R21NS139176, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The $414,305 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2027, will support research at the University of Wisconsin - Madison to investigate the role of the transcription factor STAT3 in driving a cell type switch in dentate granule cells...
This $148,956 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to develop scalable methods for quantifying epileptic networks and guiding epilepsy surgery. The primary objectives are to: (1) develop standardized quantitative methods to analyze structural imaging, intracranial EEG (IEEG), and clinical data across multiple epilepsy centers; (2) create normative methods that integrate structural imaging and IEEG data to identify abnormal epileptic networks; and (3) implement these quantitative methods at scale to predict surgical outcomes for patients with temporal and extratemporal lobe epilepsy. This research aims to improve and standardize patient care by providing practical tools to better target epilepsy surgery. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026 and will be conducted by the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania.
