This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to study how astrocytes, a critical cell type in the brain, respond to mechanical forces and strain associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The $705,806 award to Tufts University will fund the development of controlled 3D brain-like cell culture environments and ex vivo brain cultures to quantify astrocytes' acute and chronic responses to mechanical perturbation...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $399,269 to the University of Florida to develop a breakthrough computational framework called BMI-FRAME. The framework aims to model the interactions between brain neuronal activity and neck muscle responses to mechanical impacts, with the goal of advancing the understanding of traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanics and associated motor impairments. The key products and services to...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a 3-year, $274,297 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct collaborative research on the extreme mechanics of the human brain. The research aims to generate insights into how the living human brain responds to large and rapid loading, which is critical for developing models to predict traumatic brain injury and designing safer protective equipment. The project will combine high-rate mechanical...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $206,132 to Louisiana State University to conduct fundamental research on the high strain rate mechanics of the human brain. The research aims to develop advanced computational models and experimental techniques to better understand the complex mechanical behavior of the living human brain under extreme loading conditions, such as those encountered during traumatic brain injuries. The...

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $245,625 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct the "DELTA ECMO ABI STUDY (ASSESSING ACUTE BRAIN INJURY AFTER RAPID REDUCTION OF PACO2 UPON ECMO CANNULATION USING PORTABLE MRI AND BIOMARKERS)". This high-reward research project aims to improve understanding of the early physiologic changes and...

This 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, is supporting the development of an innovative point-of-care diagnostic device to quickly detect and monitor the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The $332,122 grant awarded to Hemex Health Inc. will fund the creation of a portable, microchip-based platform capable of...

The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $379,171 Project Grant 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. The grant supports a 2-year research project to investigate cerebrovascular dysfunction and cerebral atrophy in severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). Specifically, the project aims to: 1) Characterize...

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, will fund research at the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences) to investigate the mechanisms linking traumatic brain injury (TBI) to subsequent neurodegeneration and dementia. The $1,975,262 award will support a 3-year study...

The federal Project Grant award of $6,477,030.00 from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300) is supporting a research project titled "Physics-Based Approach for Understanding Directed Energy Traumatic Brain Injury." The University of Wisconsin System, through its Division of Research and Sponsored Programs, is the prime awardee leading this multi-year (Nov 2024 - Oct 2028) research effort. The primary objectives of...
