This $537,730 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 advanced in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for studying infant brain development. The primary objectives are to achieve motion-robust, high-resolution (600mm isotropic) whole-brain quantitative MRI (qMRI) and diffusion MRI (dMRI) within clinically feasible scan...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $331,560 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to develop clinical benchmarks and quality indicators for late preterm infants during the birth hospitalization. The key objectives are to: 1) Evaluate current clinical morbidities and medical intervention rates in the management of late preterm infants; 2) Test...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $607,274 to Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) from August 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The funding supports a longitudinal study examining brain development trajectories, from birth to early adulthood, in individuals born very preterm (VP) compared to those born...
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), is funding research to develop machine learning techniques to monitor maternal and child health in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) using publicly available geotagged data. The $1,286,936 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University aims to address the challenge of scarce reliable data on maternal and...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under CFDA Program 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, will provide $1,150,046 to Duke University to develop and apply advanced neuroimaging techniques for assessing developmental delays in infants and young children. The key objectives are to: 1) Develop a motion-robust and comprehensive MR Fingerprinting (MRF) imaging approach to obtain...
This Project Grant awarded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research to identify optimal electrophysiological markers for predicting developmental outcomes in infants. The $147,037 award to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute will fund a study examining the similarity between resting-state and auditory...
This federal Project Grant award of $694,528.00, provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research on the learning and educational attainment of preterm and at-risk infants. The award was granted to Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, a non-profit integrated healthcare system and research organization, on June 5, 2025, with a planned...
This Project Grant award of $642,859 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research to develop and validate approaches for detecting and predicting prescribing errors in inpatient pediatric settings. The key goals are to: 1) validate an algorithmic approach to detect pediatric prescribing errors at scale, 2) validate the use of...
This federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund a $693,365 research project to evaluate the longer-term impacts of a medical-financial partnership (MFP) intervention delivered through pediatric care. The MFP intervention provides financial coaching to low-income families, with the goal of improving child developmental...
This $779,911 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to evaluate the impact of a music-based intervention (MBI) on preterm infant stress, brain development, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. The MBI will be delivered to preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between 32-40 weeks gestation, with outcomes assessed during the NICU stay and up to 2...
