Vanderbilt University received a $542,947 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), effective March 3, 2026, with completion anticipated by February 28, 2030. The award supports the development of fully non-invasive transcranial functional ultrasound imaging technology for adult humans. Building on preliminary demonstrations of functional ultrasound in rodent models, human neonates, and adult humans with exposed brains, the research addresses the critical need for a low-cost functional imaging tool with high spatial and temporal resolution to advance understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological and mental health disorders—conditions that represent a significant global health burden affecting an estimated 1 billion people and costing the United States at least $200 billion annually. The project delivers advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques to enhance low-frequency ultrasound imaging performance for transcranial applications, overcoming current limitations in detecting small changes in blood flow through the skull. The research will also integrate image registration and anatomical localization methods to establish precise anatomical orientation in transcranial imaging. These technological innovations aim to translate functional ultrasound imaging into a broadly accessible, clinically useful tool for non-invasive functional brain imaging in adult populations, potentially advancing neurological disorder detection and prevention capabilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
