The award funds development of artificial...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, $857,878 for a Project Grant (R01HL188153) on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The award funds development and evaluation of pediatric cardiac foundation models—machine learning models pre-trained on large volumes of unlabeled electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (ECHO), chest X-ray, and clinical text...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation (Boston Children's Hospital) $267,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to develop and expand the Fetal and Neonatal Development Imaging (FEDI) open-source software platform for analyzing early brain development via magnetic resonance imaging. The project addresses a critical gap in...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Miami $395,006 on June 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to develop atlas-based machine learning methods for pediatric bone age assessment. The project addresses limitations in the Greulich-Pyle method, the standard manual approach for estimating skeletal maturation in childhood using hand and wrist X-ray images. Current practice relies on...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the Research Institute At Nationwide Children's Hospital $242,901 on August 17, 2026, to develop deep learning methods for identifying fractures and other manifestations of physical abuse in children through imaging analysis, supporting improved clinical outcomes in abuse evaluations. The award operates under the Medical Library Assistance program (CFDA 93.879), which funds discrete research projects applying biomedical...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Massachusetts General Hospital $681,793 on June 23, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to map the neuroarchitecture and connectivity development of the human cerebellum during the first postnatal year using cross-scale imaging techniques. The research addresses the gap between in vivo and ex vivo imaging of perinatal cerebellar injury, which occurs in up to 19% of...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Boston Children's Hospital received a $674,620 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), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027. The award supports investigator-initiated research to elucidate the genetic and developmental basis for coordinated limb growth and proportion regulation. The research employs integrated...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Boston Children's Hospital received a $267,000 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), effective August 1, 2025, with completion anticipated by July 31, 2027. The award funds research to identify shared molecular mechanisms underlying congenital heart disease (CHD) and neurodevelopmental delay and disability (NDD) by characterizing dysregulated gene expression in...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, $516,458 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) for Project Grant R01HL187595. The funded research investigates mechanisms of somatic rescue in Fanconi Anemia, a prototypical inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by deficiency in DNA interstrand crosslink repair. The project examines how some...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation $775,598 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Projects program (CFDA 93.865) to develop machine-learning algorithms that automatically detect classic metaphyseal lesions—fractures highly specific to inflicted infant trauma—in skeletal survey radiographs. The recipient, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, will train algorithms on both real and synthetic imaging data from different long bones to create a computer-aided diagnostic tool that performs at the level of expert pediatric radiologists with subspecialty training. The system is designed to serve as a "virtual second set of eyes" to mitigate human error in detecting infant abuse fractures, particularly for generalist and community radiologists who lack specialized training and may miss these subtle radiographic findings. The project addresses an unmet clinical need: most pediatric radiologists report discomfort interpreting child abuse imaging due to technical difficulty, medicolegal concerns, and potential courtroom testimony obligations. The award runs through May 31, 2031, with performance at Boston Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. The project is a response to NIH Research Project Grant PARENT R01 PA-20-185.
