This 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), will support research using kidney organoids to investigate the effects of in utero exposure to pregestational diabetes on kidney development programs. The $421,067 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will fund a 2-year project to study how the pregestational diabetic environment affects...
This $448,441 federal Project Grant awarded by the 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 at Emory University to investigate the role of mediobasal hypothalamic gliosis in gestational weight gain and visceral fat accretion. The primary aim is to provide foundational data on a potential neural mechanism underlying dysregulated or pathological weight gain during...
This 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 investigate the mechanism by which fetal glucagon regulates placental nutrient delivery and uterine blood flow. The $148,568 award, effective from February 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026, will be provided to the University of Colorado-Denver to conduct this research. The key objectives are to...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $339,000 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to New York University School of Medicine. The funding supports a research project focused on the computational identification of susceptibility genes for Hirschsprung disease, a rare congenital disorder affecting the development of the enteric nervous system. The project aims to conduct whole genome...
This 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), is providing $486,750.00 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, a non-profit organization, to conduct research on the molecular and cellular pathways that drive competency for human vagal neural crest specification. The research aims to fully characterize the population of cells that exhibits...
This 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), will provide $200,625 from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027 to the Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The grant will support research to determine the identity of a specific neural crest-derived cell lineage that interacts with an endocrine gland to regulate embryonic calcium uptake and...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $152,216 Project Grant to the University of Washington to conduct research on the association between adverse maternal factors and neurodevelopmental outcomes among children in Kenya. The research project, funded under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), will leverage an ongoing cohort study to evaluate how maternal factors such as HIV infection, depression, and nutritional status...
This $584,074 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 investigate the roles of the ion channel subunits Cav1.2 and Cav1.3 in uterine smooth muscle cell function, uterine peristalsis, and their relationship to fertility and the uterine disease adenomyosis. The research aims to provide a fundamental understanding of uterine peristalsis...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $273,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the Children's Research Institute in Washington, D.C. The goal of this 2-year project is to investigate how disruption of microRNA (miRNA)-mediated buffering mechanisms contributes to phenotypic variability in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11DS), a common genetic disorder with diverse clinical features. Specifically,...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, a $162,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) on September 22, 2023. The grant supports the development of tools to visualize the construction and assembly of the Posterior Signaling Center (PSC), a cell niche that controls the progenitors of insect...
