This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $869,696 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to investigate the relationship between preeclampsia during pregnancy and the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in women. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the relationship between post-partum subclinical left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and...
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 $148,880.00 to the University of Mississippi Medical Center to investigate the long-term effects of preeclampsia (PE) on offspring. The key research objectives are to: 1) Test the hypothesis that B cells from PE women produce autoantibodies that contribute to hypertension,...
This $232,500 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Wake Forest University Health Sciences will fund research to establish the neuroprotective actions of the apelinergic axis on the long-term cerebrovascular consequences of preeclampsia. The research aims to improve understanding of the protective role of the apelin/APJ axis in preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of...
This $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support research at Colorado State University to investigate the role of maternal gut microbiome and inflammation in preeclampsia and subsequent cardiometabolic disease in offspring. The key research aims are to: 1) Determine if the maternal gut microbiome contributes to pro- or anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acid signaling at the...
This $424,373 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), will support research to identify and validate transcription factors that control preeclampsia-specific gene expression programs. The project will utilize human trophoblast stem cells as a model system to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of these "preeclampsia-driver" transcription factors...
This 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) provides $485,925 to the University of Massachusetts Boston to develop novel antioxidant compounds for treating preeclampsia, a life-threatening pregnancy complication. The primary goal is to design and synthesize cationic hydrazone antioxidants that can target mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress, improve...
This $2,559,308 Project Grant was awarded on January 14, 2025 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837). The grant supports a study examining the impact of severe pre-eclampsia on heart function in a racially diverse cohort of women during and after pregnancy. The study aims to characterize the cardiomyopathic genetic profile of participants and assess the functional impact of specific genetic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the amount of $259,570 will develop 3D spheroid models using patient-derived trophoblast cells to investigate placental cell invasion and study preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication with high global maternal and infant mortality rates. The 2-year project will design culture conditions to maintain the spheroid models, engineer an extracellular matrix to mimic the...
This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development and validation of a non-invasive, multiplex blood test for the early detection of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication. The project aims to advance the detection of vascular dysfunction, particularly preeclampsia, by optimizing a blood test that targets disease-inducing signaling proteins on the surface of...
This Project Grant award of $696,470.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research at the University of Denver to investigate the relationship between prenatal maternal sleep and offspring cardiovascular disease risk. The research aims to: 1) examine how prenatal maternal sleep trajectories predict maternal biological pathways like inflammation and stress, 2) assess how prenatal maternal sleep impacts offspring growth,...

This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $806,978 to Yale University to conduct research on the role of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI1) in maternal endothelial dysfunction associated with preeclampsia. The objective is to gain insights into maternal endothelial dysfunction that can be leveraged to develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting PAI1. The research involves investigating how PAI1 alters inflammatory signaling pathways, assessing the relevance of PAI1-mediated endothelial dysfunction in preeclamptic patient plasma, and testing the in vvivo efficacy of blocking PAI1 in a mouse model of preeclampsia-related endothelial dysfunction. This project aims to advance the understanding of PAI1's contribution to the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
