The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $420,600 Project Grant under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant's objective is to design elastic hydrogel microparticles as a platform to measure key elements of platelet function, including adhesion, activation, aggregation, and contraction. This innovative "lab-on-a-particle" approach aims to improve the reliability and reproducibility of platelet function...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,127,798 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to understand the role of macrophages in preserving cardiovascular health and their contributions to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The overarching goal is to identify new therapeutic targets for CVD in both female and male patients. The research will use advanced single cell imaging and omics techniques to characterize harmful...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $1,419,308 to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the mechanisms linking persistent DNA damage to the upregulation of NLRP12 and the functional links between persistent DNA damage and NLRP12 in aging hematopoiesis. The award period is from Sep 17, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025. The research aims to elucidate a novel interplay between...
This Project Grant award of $108,030, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research to determine if neutrophils produced through emergency granulopoiesis, a reactive process that increases neutrophil production during immune challenges like myocardial infarction (MI), exhibit altered functions that contribute to the pathogenesis of heart failure after MI. The key objectives are 1) to assess...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $445,000 to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to conduct research on the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in thromboinflammatory diseases. The research aims to: 1) characterize the role of NETs in immune homeostasis, 2) define the mechanism by which platelet factor 4 (PF4) and an Fc-modified anti-PF4 antibody...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $528,179 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Miami. The grant supports research to investigate whether extracellular vesicles mediate the systemic effects of ischemia training on monocyte reprogramming, and to determine if regulation of the DHCR24 enzyme in myeloid cells impacts limb perfusion, function, and arteriogenesis in peripheral arterial disease. The research...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $121,003.00 to Case Western Reserve University to conduct research on the atomic-level structural-omics of platelet membrane proteins. The research aims to solve the structures of platelet membrane proteins in their native environment using advanced cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) techniques. This includes determining the in-situ...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) is funding research to investigate the role of mechanical cues in the extracellular matrix in regulating monocyte inflammation. The $406,250 award, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, will support the development of human stem cell-based culture systems to study monocyte mechanobiology, the investigation of mechanical...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $465,000 in funding to Bloodworks, a non-profit organization based in Seattle, WA. The award supports research into the mechanisms by which chronic inflammation disrupts hemostatic function in sickle cell disease (SCD). Specifically, the project aims to investigate how TNF-driven inflammation in SCD blocks autophagy and mitophagy in...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $1,831,848 to the University of Rochester to investigate how neonatal microbiome colonization impacts lung immunity and regeneration. The research aims to elucidate how early-life microbial dysbiosis remodels the developmental program in lung-resident lymphocytes and epithelial cells, contributing to chronic respiratory disease. Key...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $573,261 to the University of Rochester to investigate the role of platelet-monocyte interactions in regulating immune responses and inflammation. The key aims are to determine: 1) the signaling mechanisms by which resting platelets "immune train" monocytes to a quiescent state, 2) the functional outcomes of this platelet-mediated monocyte programming, and 3) the consequences of disrupted platelet-monocyte interactions in disease contexts. This research, spanning from Aug 2025 to Apr 2029, seeks to advance the understanding of how endogenous cell-cell interactions regulate innate immune responses, with potential implications for cardiovascular health and inflammatory disorders.
