The project aims to develop a systematic approach using cutting-edge technologies to generate new...
- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The $226,530 award will support a research project at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) focused on using brain stimulation to identify and test network biomarkers for chronic pain relief. The project aims to leverage advanced functional MRI,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant aims to develop a suite of low-intensity focused ultrasound strategies for treating a wide range of brain disorders with psychiatric underpinnings, with a focus on the dorsal...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is for a research project titled "High-Resolution Transcranial Ultrasound Neuromodulation at Large Scale." The $285,380 award, effective September 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026, supports scientific research to explore the use of orthogonal crossed beams of ultrasound as a noninvasive means for achieving unprecedented sub-0.1 mm3 spatial resolution neuromodulation at large...
- This $428,578 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), supports research and development to establish protocols for using Focused Ultrasound (FUS) therapy to treat Achilles tendinopathy. The project aims to: 1) develop computational models to characterize the thermal and mechanical effects of FUS on murine Achilles tendons,...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a 3-year, $3,582,963 Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The grant supports the development and validation of novel wearable transcranial focused ultrasound (TFUS) neuromodulation transducer array probes compatible with simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in behaving...
- This $2,055,669 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to Highland Instruments Inc. supports the development of a non-invasive brain stimulation system for the treatment of chronic low back pain. The project aims to develop an innovative neuromodulation therapy that leverages sophisticated electromagnetic and ultrasonic stimulation techniques to address chronic pain by directly targeting the neurological processes underlying the sensation of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), provides $3,473,616 to the University of Connecticut to develop a novel implantable neuromodulation system called "SmartStim" to treat chronic pain. The goal is to create a combined device and drug treatment that can selectively block sensitized nociceptive (pain-sensing) nerve fibers, especially C-fibers, to reverse the underlying neural...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is for the project "Displacement-Guided Focused Ultrasound for Pain Modulation". The $3,220,027 award, granted to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, will support research to develop novel ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound (USGFUS) capabilities to target brain and peripheral nerve regions for pain treatment. The project aims to address limitations of existing focused ultrasound (FUS) techniques through improved targeting and monitoring methodologies, with the goal of advancing FUS as a noninvasive approach for modulating neuronal activity and pain sensation. This award falls under the NIH's Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), which supports research on substance use disorders and related health consequences.
