This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $4,035,290 to Seattle Children's Hospital, doing business as Seattle Children's Research Institute, to conduct research on improving nutrition outcomes for infants born with cleft lip and palate conditions. The overall objectives are to: 1) predict which infants with cleft will develop undernutrition and determine...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will provide $521,209.45 over 3 years starting September 1, 2024 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to examine the role of the transcriptional repressor ZEB2 in human neural crest cell formation and its impact on craniofacial pathology, particularly Mowat-Wilson syndrome. The key...
This Project Grant award of $306,600 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to elucidate the role of TGF-beta signaling in craniofacial fibrous dysplasia of the bone. The research project, conducted by the Northern California Institute for Research and Education, Inc. (NCIRE), will pursue two key objectives: 1) investigating the mechanisms driving TGF-beta signaling in response to G...
This Project Grant award of $320,053, funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to advance the understanding of craniofacial connective tissue development and its role in congenital disorders. The University of Southern California, through Principal Investigator Dr. Amy Merrill, will leverage cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics and mouse genetics to identify genes and...
This $178,848 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying cleft lip, a common craniofacial abnormality. The principal investigator, Dr. Teng, will leverage newly developed mouse models and live imaging approaches to investigate how the protein p120-catenin regulates the cellular behaviors and forces driving lip...
This $166,644 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports research to investigate the developmental mechanisms underlying the formation and function of sensory-motor circuits responsible for suckling and mastication behaviors.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a 5-year, $628,965 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to study how immune cells, specifically macrophages, regulate the development and differentiation of salivary gland cells. The research aims to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which macrophages govern salivary gland progenitor dynamics and epithelial cell patterning,...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $622,608 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The grant, titled "Genomic and Developmental Mechanisms of Six2-Related Frontonasal Dysplasia," will fund research to study the genomic disruptions associated with frontonasal dysplasia, a congenital craniofacial disorder. The project aims to investigate the...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research grant program (CFDA 93.121), provides $818,112 to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to study the mechanisms underlying macroglossia (severe tongue overgrowth) in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS). The research aims to define the cell composition, cellular drivers, and signaling pathways causing macroglossia in BWS, with the goal of developing targeted non-surgical therapeutics. The project will leverage the hospital's large collection of BWS tongue samples and utilize cutting-edge single-nuclei transcriptomic analysis, in situ immunohistochemistry, and in vivo xenograft tongue models to characterize the distinct tongue phenotypes associated with alterations in the CDKN1C and IGF2 genes. This research represents a critical step toward improving treatment options for infants with BWS and macroglossia, as well as related muscle disorders.
