- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. $631,658 on June 5, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate the role of caudate-putamen Kiss1 neurons in female minipuberty, reproductive maturation, and cognitive function. The award funds research characterizing a sexually dimorphic population of Kiss1/GnRH co-expressing neurons in the caudate putamen that appear to drive...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of California, San Diego $650,472 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate how adrenergic signaling from brainstem norepinephrine neurons regulates reproductive neuroendocrine circuits in response to chronic psychosocial stress. The research addresses how stress impairs kisspeptin neuron function and downstream luteinizing...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of California, San Diego $440,000 on July 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to characterize brainstem noradrenergic circuits controlling reproductive function. The research investigates how chronic psychosocial stress impairs reproductive capacity through inhibition of hypothalamic kisspeptin neuron function, which leads to reduced luteinizing...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Syracuse University $323,643 on June 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate molecular interactions between the female reproductive tract and sperm that determine fertility. The research characterizes female-derived metabolic proteins and their spatiotemporally regulated interactions with sperm during storage and transit in the female reproductive tract....
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $123,147 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award funds research investigating granulosa-derived RNAs as targets for oocyte rejuvenation and age-related oocyte quality infertility. The project comprises three aims: interrogating the mechanism by which RNAs transfer from granulosa cells to...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. $129,377 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate relationships between sexual behavior rhythms, core body temperature, and sleep in female mice and their implications for fertility. The research will identify brain circuits regulating female sexual behavior rhythms, determine whether mild cooling...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of South Florida $114,237 on June 5, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct research dissecting estrogen receptor alpha (ERA) functions in anteroventral and periventricular medial preoptic area neurons co-expressing the long-form leptin receptor. The research examines how ERA signaling as a nuclear receptor and mRNA-binding protein—distinct from...
