This $1,525,066 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support research focused on understanding the complex mechanisms underlying chronic pain. The study aims to elucidate how somatosensory, cognitive, and affective information is integrated in corticothalamic brain networks to produce the experience of chronic pain. Through direct...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support research to better understand the role of the insula region of the brain in pain processing. The $231,000 award, with a performance period from December 2024 to November 2026, will fund experiments at Stanford University to determine whether electrical stimulation of distinct...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, is funding research to investigate the neural circuits involved in pain perception and the relationship between pain and depression.
The $643,262 award to the University of California, San Francisco will support studies examining how the lateral habenula brain region...
This Project Grant award, valued at $597,999.00, was issued by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The funding supports research at the University of Pittsburgh focused on understanding the neuronal populations and central sensitization mechanisms underlying mechanical allodynia, a type of persistent pain, in the dorsal horn. Key objectives include...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $408,000.00 to Tarleton State University to elucidate the neural oscillations underlying the sensory-discriminative and affective-motivational dimensions of osteoarthritis knee pain. The research aims to establish a methodologically robust, cortex-wide, full-frequency band...
This $246,750 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will support research to investigate the role of the mesocortical glutamatergic pathway in the development and maintenance of chronic neuropathic pain.
The research project aims to examine how changes in glutamatergic inputs from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the prefrontal cortex...
This Project Grant award for $158,512.00, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to characterize the role of orexinergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and their descending projections to the spinal cord in modulating chronic pain.
The primary objectives are to use two-photon calcium imaging and chemogenetic activation...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under CFDA 93.853, "Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders," will provide $764,659 in funding to the University of Cincinnati to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying neuropathic spontaneous pain. The key objectives are to:
Characterize the role of local vascular movement in triggering neuropathic spontaneous pain;
Determine how...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to better understand how endogenous opioid systems control the analgesic properties of the central noradrenergic system. The $497,550 award to The Washington University in University City, Missouri, with a project period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, focuses on...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), provides $351,097 to support the Mass General Brigham Interdisciplinary Clinical Pain Research Training Program. The program aims to expand and enhance the pool of early career stage investigators conducting clinical pain research. Over the 5-year award period from August 2024 to July 2029, the program will provide postdoctoral fellows...
