The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $588,681 Project Grant to Smith College on August 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The three-year project, concluding July 31, 2029, investigates the relationship between somatosensory impairment and cognitive and physical fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), with particular emphasis on how degraded somatosensory feedback increases attentional and motor demands that exacerbate fatigue and balance dysfunction. The research will systematically assess balance tasks under varying physical load, cognitive load, and sensory feedback conditions to evaluate whether somatosensory impairments mediate the compensatory mechanisms—such as sensory reweighting and increased cognitive resource allocation—that drive MS-related fatigue. The project deliverables will include empirical data characterizing the specific mechanisms linking somatosensory impairment to fatigue and balance dysfunction in MS populations, which may inform development of targeted interventions to reduce fatigue-related disability and improve quality of life for individuals with MS. No sub-awardee information is documented in this project record.Federal Project Grant Summary
