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, aims to develop a new approach for in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) chemical shift thermometry and a novel biophysical model of brain thermoregulation. The total funding provided is $624,928.00, with the award period running from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2029.

The key products or services to be delivered under this grant include: 1) Implementing corrections to MR-derived temperature calculations and validating the approach in an animal model and healthy human volunteers (Aim 1); 2) Developing a 3D simulated model for subject-specific predictions and quantification of brain temperature (Aim 2); and 3) Acquiring in vivo brain thermometry data in a cohort of patients with cerebrovascular disease and incorporating injury into the simulated biophysical model to facilitate subject-specific brain temperature characterization (Aim 3). The project involves sub-awards to Indiana University and Georgia Tech Research Corporation to support various aspects of the research.
