This federal Project Grant award of $2,249,307, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to study the premature maturation arrest of pluripotent-derived cardiomyocytes (PSC-CMs) and develop strategies to overcome this issue. The project will leverage a high-resolution single cell transcriptome map of endogenous cardiomyocyte maturation to identify a critical gene regulatory network underlying the maturation failure in PSC-CMs....
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $243,000 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division. The grant will fund a 2-year project to engineer advanced RNA biodevices that leverage CRISPR and ADAR gene-editing technologies. The goal is to improve the efficiency and specificity of converting resident cardiac fibroblasts into functional cardiomyocytes, in order to boost...
This $437,461 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), funded under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports the development of a novel stabilization catheter device for His pacing lead implantation. The goal is to improve the accuracy and ease of His bundle pacing, an emerging alternative cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for heart failure patients. The project aims to refine a deployable suction-tipped lead...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), aims to develop a flexible bioelectronic microarchitecture that integrates a capillary-like delivery network and a tissue-like sensing network to improve cardiac tissue engineering. The $488,026 award supports the creation of a system that can efficiently deliver media and provide real-time physiological feedback to enhance the development of...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $251,156 to City Labs, Inc. to develop a betavoltaic power source for leadless cardiac pacemakers (LCPs). The grant aims to create a compact, long-lasting power solution for LCPs that can significantly reduce their size and extend their lifespan to 20 years, enabling new applications and improving patient outcomes. The project will...
This $704,071 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which mutations in the LMNA gene promote cardiac conduction disorders. The project aims to establish the pathological function of LMNA in the development of cardiac conduction disorders, which can lead to conditions like sick sinus syndrome and atrioventricular block. A key...
The federal Project Grant award of $621,546.00 was granted on July 20, 2025 by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research program. The grant supports research focused on observing the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA-C) at the single molecule level, to understand its role in normal heart function and cardiac disease states. Key objectives include: Engineering a single-walled carbon nanotube field effect...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $668,783 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the role of extracellular ion dynamics in regulating cardiac pacemaking. The research aims to define potassium ion concentration as a critical factor underlying entrained automaticity within the sinoatrial node, the heart's natural pacemaker, and identify the...
The University of California, Davis received a $400,417 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to conduct research on cardiac regenerative therapy using gene-edited stem cells. The goal is to improve transplantation outcomes and address the critical role of inflammation-induced cell death that impedes current cardiac stem cell therapies. The research aims to develop new treatments for end-stage heart failure, a...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Johns Hopkins University provides $1,402,988.66 in funding from September 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028. The project aims to investigate the role of protein kinase G (PKG) and the ubiquitin ligase CHIP in enhancing the degradation of mutant transthyretin to attenuate cardiac amyloidosis. Key objectives include: Testing if PKG stimulation or expression of a CHIP...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $732,221 to The Johns Hopkins University to evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of an mRNA-based biological pacemaker approach. The goal is to develop an alternative to implantable cardiac pacemakers by reprogramming ventricular myocytes to function as pacemaker cells, creating de novo cardiac pacing in vivo. The 4-year project will translate this concept from preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies through preclinical evaluation of an mRNA-lipid nanoparticle formulation, with the objective of identifying target patient populations for potential first-in-human trials of this novel therapeutic approach.
