This $454,225 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) will support research at The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to develop new methods for assessing "effective reserve" in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate the concept of effective reserve and its feasibility in acute ischemic stroke patients using two large...
This $633,683 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 support research to study how deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be used to enhance post-stroke rehabilitation in a rodent model of ischemia. The key goals are to: 1) Determine how DBS treatment contributes to the reorganization of cortical circuits and motor...
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 $264,756 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to examine cellular responses to a hydrogel scaffold that promotes revascularization and axonal sprouting after ischemic stroke. The research aims to longitudinally record vessel growth, perfusion, and permeability within...
This federal 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 $160,000 to Northwestern University to conduct research on mapping the neural pathways involved in motor control and recovery in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) acquiring multi-echo fMRI data in the brain, brainstem, and...
The federal Project Grant award R37NS136068, titled "The Skull Bone Marrow Niche After Stroke," is funded 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 $798,848 award, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2029, supports research by The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to examine...
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, funds a clinical study to quantify myelin damage and repair in ischemic stroke patients. The $541,109 award will enable researchers at the University of Washington to develop and implement an advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, named single-point...
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, provides $1,155,143.00 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on subcortico-cortical mechanisms of sensorimotor coordination, integration, and learning. The award, which commenced on May 15, 2024, will support this fundamental neuroscience research...
This $539,597 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 will fund research at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to address the paradox of poor outcomes despite successful stroke recanalization. The project aims to: 1) create a longitudinal clinical and imaging dataset to evaluate the role of final...
This $1,149,995 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), funds research at New York University (NYU) to develop innovative methods in artificial intelligence (AI) and motion capture technology to analyze and improve stroke rehabilitation. The key objectives are to: 1) Amalgamate multimodal data into a shared representation space to precisely measure training movements, 2) Introduce...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports research into neuromodulatory strategies to improve motor control and walking recovery in individuals with stroke. The $148,568 award to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, doing business as Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, aims to determine the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and non-invasive brain...
