This federal Project Grant award of $1,360,447.52 from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), aims to develop and evaluate an inexpensive, lightweight "brain monitor" device using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. The device is designed to be deployed at the patient's bedside to regularly acquire imaging data and alert...
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 $497,196 to The Johns Hopkins University to develop and evaluate new Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) techniques. The goal is to simultaneously map both downfield and upfield proton signals throughout the human brain at 3 Tesla, which may provide important...
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, provides $353,942 to Microstructure Imaging Inc. for a project focused on developing a software platform to quantify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for monitoring and staging multiple sclerosis (MS). The key objectives are to: 1) curate a database of age- and...
This $9.1 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will fund the development of fast multichannel magnetothermal genetics for neural circuit modulation. The goal is to create a wireless, injectable, and fast-acting neuromodulation technology using magnetic fields to heat genetically-targeted nanoparticles and activate thermoreceptors with sub-second latency. This will allow precise synchronization of neural stimulation...
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 supporting the development of a highly parallelized interferometric near-infrared spectroscopy (INIRS) system for the real-time, non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow. The $498,995 award to Neuralenz, Inc. will fund the creation of a multi-channel, long-wavelength...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $546,094 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program to Trustees of Indiana University (IU Indianapolis) for a research project titled "Mechanics of Brain Folding in Human Infants Evaluated Using MRI". The project aims to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to study the mechanisms underlying the folding and...
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) program, is funding research to improve the sensitivity and specificity of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) for detecting fiber pathways and assessing tissue microstructure in the brain. The $596,570 award, with a performance period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030, will...
This federal Project Grant award of $596,146.00 was 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. The grant supports research to investigate the developmental mechanisms underlying temperature-sensitive seizures, with the goal of developing novel therapeutic approaches to prevent recurrent febrile seizures and reduce the risk of future epilepsy. The...
