- The federal Project Grant award of $758,428 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to evaluate a novel "huddle" approach to improving concussion safety among over 1 million U.S. youth participating in sports. The project, awarded on May 5, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2030, was developed in collaboration with coaches, athletes, parents, and...
- The federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research provides funding of $1,089,271 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) to evaluate the capacity of youth football organizations to adopt the COACH (Communities Aligned to Reduce Concussion and Head Impact Exposure) intervention program. COACH seeks to improve the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of youth...
- This Project Grant award of $620,784 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support a multidisciplinary research study on head impact biomechanics, neurobehavioral health, and community perspectives on safety in youth ice hockey. The study aims to characterize head impact exposure in adolescent ice hockey players, relating biomechanics-based metrics to...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver, was awarded a $346,500 Project Grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to conduct a randomized clinical trial evaluating a multidimensional sleep health intervention to optimize concussion recovery in adolescents. The 2-year project, running from July 1, 2025 to June 30,...
- This Project Grant award, with $483,673 in total funding, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The project aims to conduct a longitudinal evaluation of psychophysiological and motor dysfunction following concussion, with a focus on examining the utility of psychophysiological measures for detecting lingering sensorimotor and...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $1,544,840 Project Grant under CFDA 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to study the effects of post-concussive sleep disruption on glymphatic function in collegiate athletes. The 5-year project aims to 1) identify student-athletes at risk of developing post-concussive sleep-wake disturbance, and 2) examine the biological mechanisms linking sleep disruption and poor outcomes...
- This Project Grant award of $152,442 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 research to understand the determinants and mitigators of social media risk-taking behaviors, particularly social media challenges, among U.S. adolescents. The principal investigator, Dr. Middelberg, a board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physician, aims to...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $306,776 Project Grant to Minnesota Healthsolutions Corporation (MHS) on June 20, 2025 under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports the development of a novel dynamic headrest for child safety seats to reduce head injuries in side-impact crashes. MHS, a woman-owned small business, will leverage an interdisciplinary research team to design, build, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $244,620 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Duke University. This 5-year CAREER project, titled "The Science of Risk Assessment," studies the variables that impact risk-taking and decision-making among adolescents and young adults, particularly related to brain injury and concussion. The research develops a data-driven framework to understand how youth assess the risk of brain injury and...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $141,609 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865) to The Ohio State University. The grant funds a study to determine the effectiveness of telehealth-delivered pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (PCIMT) for school-aged children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The study aims to compare telehealth and in-person upper extremity...
The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital received a $715,357 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to implement the "Make Play Safe" (MPS) intervention. The goal of this 5-year project is to increase concussion recognition and reporting among youth soccer athletes aged 9-12 in central Ohio. The MPS intervention uses virtual reality technology to allow youth athletes to virtually experience concussion events and symptoms, and provides communication strategies for parents and coaches to facilitate discussions about concussion reporting and safety. The project aims to determine if the MPS intervention increases athletes' concussion recognition, reporting intentions, and actual reporting behaviors, as well as evaluate whether the intervention's efficacy is mediated by the frequency of parent-child or coach-team communication about concussions.
