Project Grant N000142312757

The Global Diving Research Sociedad Limitada was awarded a $160,464 Project Grant from the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). The grant will support modeling of gas dynamics in shallow and deep diving cetaceans to account for changes in metabolic rate and blood flow from September 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The research has potential to improve naval operations by furthering...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,363,205 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The project aims to investigate differences in how oxygen is delivered to skeletal muscles in pinnipeds (e.g., sea lions) versus cetaceans (e.g., dolphins) during long-duration dives. The research team will evaluate in vivo oxygen...

The Department of Defense's Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) awarded a $4,182,053 Project Grant to The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation in Boston, MA to conduct the "BREATHING LOW OXYGEN TO ENHANCE SPINAL STIMULATION TRAINING AND FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY FOR AGING ADULTS WITH CHRONIC SCI: THE BO2ST-II TRIAL". This 4-year grant, awarded on Sep 30, 2024, will support research to investigate the potential of combining acute intermittent hypoxia...

This 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) federal grant program, is funding the development of a low-cost, high-performance near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) device. This device is designed for non-invasive monitoring of cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure in patients with...

The Department of Defense's Defense Health Agency awarded a $837,500 Project Grant under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) to The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, a non-profit research organization, for the project "OXYGEN CONSERVING REFLEX: A NOVEL MULTIMECHANISTIC THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION FOR TBI". The 3-year award, beginning November 1, 2024 and ending October 31, 2027, will fund research to develop a novel therapeutic intervention for...

This federal Project Grant award of $245,625.00 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 will fund research conducted by The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the relationship between peri-cannulation changes in arterial carbon dioxide levels and the development of acute brain injury in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)...

This $580,654 project grant awarded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health (CFDA 93.286) program aims to develop an advanced optical imaging system to quantitatively measure cerebral blood flow in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. The project will leverage a new interferometric diffuse optics (IDO) approach to provide highly parallel detection, time-of-flight...

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $305,447 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the University of Colorado to conduct research on identifying predictive biomarkers for acute intermittent hypoxia-induced motor recovery in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. The research aims to: 1) validate the cellular mechanisms of how acute intermittent hypoxia induces plasticity in humans as observed...

The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $500,233 under a Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to support collaborative research titled "Role of Endothelial Cell Activation in Hypoxia Tolerance of an Elite Diver, the Weddell Seal" from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2025. The research aims to strengthen understanding of fundamental biological processes related to hypoxia tolerance...

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Drexel University a $405,625 Project Grant (R21NS131962) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853). The funding will support research to investigate the modular organization of respiratory control and changes in the respiratory system after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) in freely behaving rats. The project aims to: 1) identify basic respiratory modules and...
