Project Grant R01HD119340
- This federal Project Grant award of $427,814, 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 investigate whether operant conditioning of motor evoked potentials (MEP) can improve corticospinal recruitment of motoneurons in individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury. The research, conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina, seeks to determine if...
- This $156,080 Project Grant was awarded by 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 was awarded to Oregon Health & Science University (UEI: NPSNT86JKN51) to conduct research aimed at identifying the factors that define neural stem cells (NSCs) in the spinal cord and their role in regenerating the central nervous system (CNS) in response to...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $606,518 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation. The grant, awarded on June 5, 2025, supports research to develop and test the safety and feasibility of spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) transplantation and testicular tissue grafting techniques for restoring fertility in patients,...
- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $600,475 Project Grant on March 24, 2025 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to engineer the fetal environment for in utero treatment of spina bifida bone defects. The research project, which runs through January 31, 2030, aims to leverage the regenerative capacity of the fetal environment and endogenous stem cells to regenerate bony vertebrae defects and protect the repaired spinal cord,...
- This $270,000 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), aims to define the inherent regenerative capacity of the zebrafish spinal cord. The research seeks to understand the molecular signals that enable or inhibit spinal cord regeneration, with the goal of shifting the mammalian spinal cord injury response from scarring to regeneration. The work, to be...
- The federal Project Grant award of $1,431,959.00 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) aims to investigate two promising methods to induce plasticity in subcortical motor circuits in humans, both with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). The award, granted to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (doing business as Shirley Ryan AbilityLab), will...
- This $163,145 Project Grant awarded on August 7, 2025 by 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), aims to address critical questions pertaining to impaired placentation associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR). The principal investigator, a pediatric and fetal surgeon, will use this 5-year award to develop unique cross-disciplinary skills and...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $187,500 Project Grant on August 11, 2025 to the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana. The grant, titled "BEYOND FOLATE - A SUPPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO PREVENT NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS", falls under the NICHD's Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to investigate a novel nutritional approach to prevent neural tube...
- This $429,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by 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 investigate the gene and environmental influences on placental angiogenesis and severe fetal growth restriction. The University of Colorado-Denver, the awardee organization, will leverage induced pluripotent stem cell technology to better...
- 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 $584,317 project grant to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to validate and optimize their non-invasive fetal sequencing (NIFS) technology. This technology aims to enable unbiased fetal exome screening at high coverage from a maternal blood draw, which could...
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) is supporting a $620,820 single-arm Phase III clinical trial to evaluate an innovative approach for fetoscopic spina bifida repair using a cryopreserved human umbilical cord graft as a meningeal patch. The trial aims to assess the impact of this minimally invasive surgical technique on reducing spinal cord tethering, inflammation, and scarring compared to the standard open hysterotomy approach, with the goal of improving long-term neurological and motor outcomes for affected children. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston is the primary awardee conducting this research, with an expected completion date of July 31, 2030.
