Project Grant R03HD114181
- This Project Grant award for $1,438,444 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to establish the relationship between the biomechanical demands of manual wheelchair propulsion and median nerve health in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The key objectives are to determine if manual wheelchair users with SCI who apply smaller forces to the...
- The University of Utah was awarded a $634,234 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to conduct a cross-sectional observational study on the biomechanical adaptations and morphological changes in the shoulders of individuals with unilateral transhumeral limb loss who use socket-suspended prosthetic devices. The 5-year grant, which began on July 1, 2025, aims to collect...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), is evaluating the feasibility of force-based and position-based prosthetic control systems for children born without a hand. The $127,557 award, with a performance period from September 30, 2025 to January 27, 2029, is supporting research at the University of California, Davis to...
- This federal Project Grant award for $257,887 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), aims to investigate mechanical and non-mechanical contributors to chronic neck, shoulder, arm, and back pain in full-busted women. The award will enable the University of Houston System to evaluate a non-pharmacological (mechanical) intervention to alleviate this type of chronic...
- This Project Grant award of $672,271 was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award is funding research to investigate impairment of the muscle metaboreflex in stroke survivors, which limits their exercise capacity. The research aims to establish the connection between reduced activation of the paretic leg muscles, impaired metaboreflex...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) provides $123,156.00 to the University of Michigan to conduct research on the neurobiological underpinnings of adolescent chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The key objectives are to: 1) Examine personalized neural networks involved in gynecological CPP in adult females; 2) Identify...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $343,320, was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The primary objective of the grant is to evaluate the influence of an 8-week supervised postpartum exercise program on maternal physical activity levels, musculoskeletal health, and overall wellbeing. The research will assess the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $570,718 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) is supporting research at The Washington University to develop evidence-based understanding of how transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) parameters can be used to selectively target different muscle groups and restore motor function in individuals with spinal...
- This federal Project Grant award of $424,074 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports research to investigate the functional contributions of distinct embryonic cell populations in the formation of the shoulder girdle in zebrafish. The research, to be conducted by Rutgers, The State University over the period from August 2025 to May 2030, aims to uncover how...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $643,049.00, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports the development of a physiomimetic model of endometrioma, a type of endometriotic lesion, to study processes driving lesion initiation, ovarian stroma invasion, and persistence in a chronic inflammatory environment. The research aims to uncover...
This 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 $301,304 to the University of Illinois to conduct research on sex-specific musculoskeletal adaptations to wheelchair use in childhood and adolescence. The primary objectives are to: Establish the relationships between sex-specific adaptations to glenohumeral muscle morphology, scapula shape, and scapular kinematics and shoulder pain, while accounting for years of wheelchair use and arm dominance. Leverage magnetic resonance imaging, biomechanical modeling, and patient-reported outcomes to uncover sex-specific musculoskeletal adaptations to wheelchair use that contribute to the development of shoulder pain, rotator cuff pathologies, and glenohumeral instability. The research aims to provide foundational knowledge for developing sex-specific wheelchair use guidelines to prevent secondary musculoskeletal conditions in manual wheelchair users, especially those with pediatric-onset disabilities. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026.
