Project Grant R00HD113834
- This $161,892 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 support research comparing the microbiome and human milk oligosaccharide composition of preterm infants' own mother's milk versus donor human milk. The study aims to evaluate how these differences relate to the preterm infant gut microbiome and growth outcomes from birth to 36...
- This 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), provides $519,054 in funding to Loyola University of Chicago for a randomized controlled trial investigating the use of multisensory early oral administration of human milk (M-MILK) to enhance stress regulation, neurodevelopment, and oral feeding skills in very preterm infants. The...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $451,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the therapeutic potential of maternal breast milk components for preterm white matter injury (WMI). The key objectives are to: 1) Perform high-throughput screening of breast milk components to identify pro-myelinating compounds, and 2) Test...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $463,360 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Weill Medical College of Cornell University for a project titled "Maternal Milk Cytokines Activate Cognate Receptors in the Neonatal Esophagus to Program Adult Social Behavior." The research aims to determine how maternal milk cytokines interact with receptors in the neonatal esophagus to influence brain...
- This Project Grant award of $747,000.00 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) supports research to evaluate breast pumping protocols and elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying enhanced milk production. The research aims to address critical issues around suboptimal breastfeeding practices, which result in significant public health...
- The University of Southern California (USC) was awarded a $830,053 Project Grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program. The grant, awarded on April 15, 2025 and scheduled for completion by April 30, 2030, will fund the development and experimental testing of the "Msingi Bora Familia (MBF)" intervention. MBF aims to improve parenting behaviors...
- The Project Grant award of $632,928 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's (NICHD) Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports a research study on the neurodevelopmental, health, and economic outcomes of former very preterm infants randomized to an economic intervention supporting mother's own milk. The award, provided to Rush University Medical Center, will fund the comprehensive research initiative from September 2025...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $655,674 Project Grant to the University of Colorado-Denver under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant, awarded on July 24, 2025, will support research investigating the role of lipid droplet docking in lactation initiation and milk secretion. The proposed studies use mouse models, imaging techniques,...
- This $700,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Southern California to study the genomic basis and evolutionary history of lactase persistence, and the dynamics of the associated gut microbiome, in pastoralist populations. Howard University will serve as a sub-awardee. The research aims to identify novel lactase persistence-associated alleles and their interactions, infer...
- This $293,550 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), is funding research to investigate the effect of inherited maternal cells on BCG-specific T cell responses in HIV-exposed and unexposed infants. The award supports a study hypothesizing that reduced transmission of maternal microchimerism in utero may be a mechanism...
The University of Southern California was awarded a $747,000 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The 3-year grant, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to: Identify genetic variants influencing human milk composition and the connections between milk metabolomics and the infant gut microbiome. Assess the impact of human cytomegalovirus reactivation in the mammary gland on the milk metabolome and infant inflammation. Investigate the systems-level effects of human milk composition on preterm infant immune system and gut microbiome development. This research aims to provide foundational data on the genetic and genomic factors shaping human milk composition and its impacts on infant health and development during the critical first 1000 days of life.
