- This $184,880 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), supports the development of an innovative strategy to evaluate women presenting with non-specific symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. The project aims to leverage point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) devices, novel ultrasound collection procedures, and deep learning artificial...
- 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 Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865) provides $313,180.00 to Amahealth LLC to develop an AI-powered method for accurately predicting the onset of labor in pregnant women. The 8-month project aims to enhance the team's existing work by using deep learning on maternal physiological data from wearable sensors to...
- The U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $766,982 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to develop and validate a novel computational framework to simulate uteroplacental hemodynamics and placentation, with the goal of identifying metrics for early detection of pregnancy complications related to abnormal placental formation. This research...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $658,761.00, was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to develop a deep learning model that can improve the interpretation of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) data to better predict fetal acidemia and reduce unnecessary obstetric interventions. The...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $423,985 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Illinois to develop a novel non-invasive monitoring system for detecting placental dysfunction and associated pregnancy complications. The funding will support research to utilize extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in maternal blood as biomarkers, using a "target recycling...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $642,211 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) on September 15, 2025. The project, scheduled to run through August 31, 2028, will combine data from two national longitudinal cohorts to examine how differences in state policy contexts and demographic characteristics impact unintended pregnancies and...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $434,500 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. The grant, titled "NEOGX-III: Interpretable Machine Learning with Integrated Analysis of Maternal & Infant Electronic Medical Records for Unbiased Prediction of Need for Genome Sequencing in Level III NICUs," aims to develop a machine...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $118,320 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research on the impact of a postpartum intrauterine device (IUD) intervention on contraceptive decision-making in low- and middle-income countries. The project, titled "Assessing the Impact of a Postpartum Intrauterine Device Intervention on Contraceptive Decision-Making", will (1) assess whether the IUD...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $438,844 Project Grant titled "RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF A RELAXATION INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE NEWBORN GROWTH AND MATERNAL WELL-BEING" under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research. The grant aims to develop and evaluate an audiorecording-based relaxation intervention to improve growth in low-birth-weight infants and maternal well-being in...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $588,803 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct a randomized controlled trial with a 2x2 factorial design. The study, titled "The INICIO-Guatemala Study: Improving Neurodevelopment with an Intestinal Health and Caregivers' Intervention in the Occidente, Guatemala," aims to evaluate the...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), through the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865), awarded a $541,204 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to develop a suite of 5 AI-assisted ultrasound tools for diagnosing and managing twin pregnancies in resource-constrained settings. The grant aims to produce AI models to: (a) diagnose twins, (b) estimate twin gestational age, (c) assess chorionicity, (d) monitor individual growth and concordance, and (e) establish fetal presentation. The AI models will be tested in prospective diagnostic accuracy studies in Chapel Hill, NC and Lusaka, Zambia, where UNC-CH has established clinical research sites. This project seeks to address the challenge of undetected twin pregnancies in low- and middle-income countries and rural U.S. areas, where access to obstetric ultrasound is limited, by leveraging point-of-care ultrasound devices and AI-assisted analysis.
