The principal investigator will pursue advanced training in mother-infant electrocardiogram and electroencephalography...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded The Trustees of The Stevens Institute of Technology $254,249 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to explore safety hazards and resilience strategies in the pediatric-to-adult health care transition for children with medical complexity. The project applies human factors methodologies to investigate how care teams identify and mitigate safety risks during transition from pediatric to adult settings, typically occurring between ages 18 and 22. The research will evaluate information transfer quality and cognitive workload associated with the transition process, and assess patterns in health outcomes, patient safety events, and care utilization before and after transition using comprehensive chart reviews. The work addresses documented gaps in implementation of existing transition guidelines and aims to identify strengths and weaknesses in coordination between pediatric and adult care systems, which often lack the interdisciplinary structure present in pediatric settings. The award carries a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028, with place of performance in Hoboken, New Jersey. This is a project grant, the assistance type for individual research projects within the NICHD extramural research portfolio.
