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...

This $178,000 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) supports research to develop an early life phenotyping framework for very preterm infants. The research aims to create 'perinatal phenotypes' by integrating variables such as reason for preterm birth, intrapartum care, and neonatal presentation, and then determine how these phenotypes contribute to...

This Project Grant award, funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes (CFDA 93.226) program, supports a comprehensive $398,972 study on improving healthcare quality and equity for newborns with prenatal substance exposure. The study, conducted by the University of California, Davis in collaboration with the Better Outcomes through Research for Newborns (BORN) network and the EMPOWER stakeholder group, aims to:...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award titled "CONTINUED PRESSURE FOR ALVEOLAR PROTECTION: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL (CPAP TRIAL)" was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The $805,722 award supports a randomized controlled trial to study the effects of continued pressure for alveolar protection in preterm infants, with the goal of reducing the...

This federal Project Grant award, funded 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 a brief telehealth-delivered intervention aimed at enhancing supportive parenting and treatment engagement for families awaiting trauma-focused services. The $747,003 award to the Medical University of South Carolina will fund a three-year research project to...

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a 5-year, $714,638 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to conduct a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial of the CAARE (Caregivers' Aid to Accelerate Recovery after Pediatric Emergencies) intervention. CAARE is a technology-assisted, stepped care program that provides emotional and behavioral...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $943,819 to Neocare Innovations, Inc. to develop an integrated biomedical platform and custom algorithm to optimize feeding protocols for preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The project aims to create a device that uses big data on breathing patterns to quantify the synchronization of breathing and swallowing in...

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 the implementation and evaluation of an online parent training program called "Online Parent Training in Early Behavioral Intervention (OPT-IN-EARLY)". The $621,682 award to Drexel University will provide caregivers of children awaiting an autism diagnosis with...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $275,990 Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I Project Grant to CB Enterprises of Santa Monica, California under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). The grant funds the development of an integrated biomedical platform and custom algorithm to optimize feeding protocols for preterm infants. The platform utilizes sensors and data analytics to precisely measure infant breathing patterns during feeding, providing...
