The $250,206 award, with a performance period from Dec 3, 2024 to Jun 2, 2028, will enable the development of a...
- This Project Grant award of $674,095, 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), aims to develop a novel optical imaging technology to directly observe and better understand multiple aspects of mammalian fertilization within the mouse fallopian tube in vivo. The primary products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: Integrating expertise in live...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $643,049.00, 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 grant supports the development of a physiomimetic model of endometrioma, a type of endometriotic lesion, to study processes driving lesion initiation, ovarian stroma invasion, and persistence in a chronic inflammatory environment. The research aims to uncover...
- The federal Project Grant award, valued at $743,287.00 and funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports a multi-disciplinary research effort to uncover novel insights into endocervical mucus secretion. The primary goal of this 5-year project, which began on May 20, 2025, is to identify the cells and pathways that influence mucus changes in response to hormonal...
- 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 $2,466,980 to the University of Illinois to develop a Multiplexed Optical Metabolic Imaging (MOMI) system to improve the assessment of in-vitro fertilized embryos prior to implantation. The project aims to complement traditional morphological embryo evaluation with spatially...
- 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 $152,834 to the University of Toledo to study the composition of sperm striated columns and their role in sperm movement and zygote centrosome function. The goal is to identify biomarkers of the striated columns to enable future research on their contributions to male infertility...
- This $429,000 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) aims to determine if blood perfusion and microvascular pressure around the internal os of the uterine cervix can distinguish patients with a history of cervical insufficiency (CI) from normal controls in a non-pregnant state. The researchers at Thomas Jefferson University will use contrast-enhanced...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $613,556 Project Grant to Orygyn Medical Devices, LLC under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) for the development of a novel Tubal Selective Delivery System (TSDS). The TSDS is designed to safely and conveniently evaluate fallopian tube patency in an office setting as part of the infertility workup, without the need for referral to a specialist or exposure to ionizing...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $595,864 Project Grant to the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation in Pittsburgh, PA, effective August 15, 2025 and scheduled for completion on May 31, 2030. The grant, awarded under the NICHD's Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to elucidate the role of hyaluronan, a key extracellular matrix component, in the development...
- This federal 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 $232,308 to Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation to elucidate the role of the hyaluronan matrices on the establishment and maintenance of the ovarian reserve and reproductive longevity. The research aims to test the hypothesis that the stromal microenvironment of the fetal ovary,...
The University of Arizona received a $609,400 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) to advance understanding of the role of motile cilia in the fallopian tubes and develop an endoscopic imaging system for in vivo clinical investigation. Spanning from August 2025 to April 2030, the research aims to: 1) Define coordinated cilia function in healthy fallopian tubes and impairments in endometriosis, 2) Develop fallopian tube endoscopes with optical coherence tomography and fiber bundle imaging, and 3) Test the endoscopic imaging system with intact fallopian tube specimens. This multidisciplinary project leverages the university's expertise in female fertility, endometriosis, and advanced imaging hardware and software to address critical knowledge gaps regarding fallopian tube cilia function and related reproductive pathologies.
