- This $158,555 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), aims to develop a first-of-its-kind, personalized, wireless, electronic-free metamaterial interbody fusion cage that can precisely measure forces during spinal fusion in-vivo and transmit the data wirelessly in real-time. The award supports research to design and evaluate the packaged...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under CFDA program 93.846 Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research, provides $600,475.00 to the University of California, Davis to engineer the fetal environment for in utero treatment of spina bifida bone defect. The project aims to leverage the regenerative capacity of the fetal environment to regenerate the bony vertebrae defect in spina bifida patients,...
- This $430,152 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The grant will fund the development of a stand-alone simulation platform for designing 3D-printed tissue engineering scaffolds to serve as bone graft substitutes. The platform will combine finite-element modeling, statistical design software, and specialized composite...
- This $507,738 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will support the development and translation of a novel Tension-Activated Annular Repair Scaffold (TARS) device to facilitate annular healing and prevent re-herniation for patients with intervertebral disc herniations. The research, led by the University of Pennsylvania, aims to optimize...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $459,820.00 and provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), supports research into the role of mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetic metabolism in the biology of growth plate chondrocytes. The research aims to enhance understanding of the complex cell differentiation process, specifically the regulation of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $703,634 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research - supports research to develop and validate age-relative measures of biochemical intervertebral disc health. The primary objectives are to: 1) Determine the age-course of biochemical disc composition and whether early deficits reflect lower peak disc health or faster decline after skeletal...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $306,722.00 and awarded on September 19, 2025, was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The funding supports the development of a distal femoral fracture (DFF) fixation plate with an implantable, battery-free, wireless sensor to monitor fracture site strains. This technology aims to enable personalized,...
- This Project Grant award of $636,198 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) supports research to identify factors diminishing proteoglycan (PG) anabolism that lead to intervertebral disc degeneration and low back pain. The award to the University of Miami aims to systematically quantify how aging and inflammation affect glycolysis and PG biosynthesis in disc...
- This federal Project Grant award, titled "DESIGNING BIOMATERIALS WITH TEMPORAL CONTROL OF PROTEINS VIA GENETIC FUSION WITH COILED COIL PEPTIDES FOR ENHANCED BONE REPAIR," was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The $413,655 award to Arizona State University aims to develop a new platform for controlling the presentation of multiple...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), is developing the X-Visual, a sensor to track fracture healing in cannulated screws used for hip fracture fixation. The $299,999 award to Aravis Biotech LLC will cover the design, computational modeling, and initial testing of this innovative device that can non-invasively measure screw bending...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), supports research to refine a computational surgical decision tool for vertebral body tethering (VBT), a technique to correct spinal deformities in children. The $616,238 award, spanning September 2025 to June 2030, aims to incorporate data on skeletal maturity and vertebral segment mobility to inform personalized, vertebral-level surgical strategies that maximize growth modulation and minimize spinal fusion. The research will be conducted by the University of Arizona, a recognized 1862 land grant and Hispanic-serving institution, through experimental studies in a porcine animal model. The goal is to provide surgeons with a personalized, data-driven approach to VBT procedures, reducing the need for more invasive spinal fusion surgeries for pediatric patients with spinal deformities.
