The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $117,071 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Duke University. The 5-year grant, awarded on July 1, 2025, supports the "CAREER: The Science of Risk Assessment" project, which studies the science of risk-taking and decision-making among adolescents and young adults regarding brain injury and concussion risks. The research aims to develop a data-driven framework for understanding how...
This Project Grant award of $559,820 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 by the University of South Carolina to characterize the biomechanical response of the human brain during traumatic brain injury (TBI). The research aims to integrate dynamic MRI and sonomicrometry techniques to measure brain deformation at both low and high...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research aims to study the impact of post-concussive sleep disruption on glymphatic function in collegiate athletes. The $1,544,840 award, effective April 4, 2025 through January 31, 2030, will fund research to: 1) define pre-morbid risk factors for post-concussive sleep-wake disturbance; 2) establish the combined effects of concussion and post-concussive sleep...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) provides $6,578,788 to retain and expand a longitudinal cohort study examining the risk factors, clinical presentation, and biomarker profiles of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and related dementias. The award will fund research conducted by Boston University and sub-awardees including Duke University, Mayo Clinic, University of Florida, Banner Health, University of...
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, will fund research at the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences) to investigate the mechanisms linking traumatic brain injury (TBI) to subsequent neurodegeneration and dementia. The $1,975,262 award will support a 3-year study...
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 investigate the effects of pediatric traumatic brain injury (PTBI) and early life stress on the development of the prefrontal cortex and resulting cognitive function. The $148,700 award to The Ohio State University aims to define acute neuroimmune changes in the...
This federal Project Grant award of $843,248 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 develop computational algorithms to accurately identify chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) pathology and spatially pinpoint other heterogeneous neuropathological features associated with repetitive head impacts (RHI) exposure and clinical symptoms....
The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), a program under the Administration for Community Living, awarded a $1,499,997 Project Grant to the University of Washington for a 5-year period starting on September 1, 2024.
