- This $158,976 Project Grant was awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to investigate the mechanisms underlying hematopoietic disorders associated with Down syndrome (trisomy 21). The research aims to use a novel human induced pluripotent stem cell system to isolate the individual and synergistic roles of trisomy 21, the GATA1S transcription factor mutation, RUNX1 isoforms, and...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), will support a 5-year, longitudinal study entitled "Metabolic Health, Lifestyle, and Risk of Co-Occurring Health Conditions in Down Syndrome (MET-DS)". The study will enroll 200 participants aged 6-24 years with Down syndrome across 4 clinical sites to deeply characterize metabolic health, obesity, and lifestyle...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research on the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the development of congenital heart defects associated with Down syndrome (DS). The $233,088 award will fund the development of 3D cardiac models to investigate how disruptions in ECM and cell-ECM interactions during heart development lead to downstream effects on cell signaling, cytoskeletal reorganization,...
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,017,548 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The grant, titled "HOME GROWN: A FAMILY-BASED LIFESTYLE INTERVENTION TO SUPPORT HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME," will fund a 2-phase study to evaluate the feasibility (R61 phase) and efficacy (R33 phase) of a tailored healthy...
- The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) received a $732,541 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The goal of this 24-month grant, awarded on August 7, 2025, is to develop a transdisciplinary training program to foster a new generation of investigators to pursue research in youth and adults with Down syndrome (DS). The PARTNERS program will provide a week-long in-person short course at CHOP, supplemented by...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $195,041 supports research to elucidate the role of cardiovascular disease in the development of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with Down syndrome. The 2-year project will leverage data from the Alzheimer's Biomarker Consortium for Down Syndrome to develop innovative statistical models combining Bayesian inference and machine learning. These methods will explore...
- This Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (CFDA 93.310 Trans-NIH Research Support) provides $446,096 to the University of Illinois to develop and implement community-based participatory health research with young adults with Down syndrome. The project aims to reflect the perspectives and lived experiences of adults with Down syndrome, including those from underserved and underrepresented communities, to reduce health disparities and...
