Project Grant R01HD117932
- 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...
- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) was awarded a $1,263,750 Project Grant 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) on September 5, 2025. The grant supports the development of AI-enabled tools for data harmonization and leveraging existing data to facilitate more robust research in health promotion and secondary condition prevention (HP/SCP) for...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $451,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the therapeutic potential of maternal breast milk components for preterm white matter injury (WMI). The key objectives are to: 1) Perform high-throughput screening of breast milk components to identify pro-myelinating compounds, and 2) Test...
- This $161,892 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 support research comparing the microbiome and human milk oligosaccharide composition of preterm infants' own mother's milk versus donor human milk. The study aims to evaluate how these differences relate to the preterm infant gut microbiome and growth outcomes from birth to 36...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $511,706 Project Grant to the University of Florida for a 3-year study to determine whether frequent standardized oral care using human milk reduces oral/intestinal inflammation and microbial dysbiosis, leading to improved neonatal outcomes and reduced cost of care in preterm very low birth weight infants. The study aims to evaluate the effect of...
- The Project Grant award of $632,928 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's (NICHD) Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports a research study on the neurodevelopmental, health, and economic outcomes of former very preterm infants randomized to an economic intervention supporting mother's own milk. The award, provided to Rush University Medical Center, will fund the comprehensive research initiative from September 2025...
- This Project Grant award of $747,000.00 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 research to evaluate breast pumping protocols and elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying enhanced milk production. The research aims to address critical issues around suboptimal breastfeeding practices, which result in significant public health...
- 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 a clinical trial to prevent linear growth stunting and malnutrition in impoverished children from a low-income country. The project aims to determine if treating small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in Bangladeshi infants under ideal conditions (frequent screening and treatment) can improve...
- 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 $167,400.00 to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to conduct research on the effects of maternal micronutrient supplementation during lactation on infant neurodevelopment. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine if maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation during lactation...
- The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $614,573 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) on September 25, 2025. The grant will support a cluster-randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of moringa leaf powder supplementation on milk volume, milk composition, exclusive breastfeeding rates, and maternal and infant health outcomes...
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) was awarded a $467,474 Project Grant 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). The grant will fund a multicenter randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of different volumes of human milk intake on growth, metabolic outcomes, and gut microbiome assembly in very preterm infants (27-31 weeks gestation). The trial aims to determine whether providing higher volumes of human milk (180-200 ml/kg/day) can improve fat-free mass accretion and reduce adverse metabolic outcomes at term-equivalent age, compared to lower volumes (140-160 ml/kg/day). Researchers will measure daily human milk volumes, weekly macronutrient content, and assess body composition and gut microbiome patterns across the study period. This project seeks to address the lack of consensus on optimal human milk intake to support growth while minimizing risks in very preterm infants.
