The federal Project Grant award R41AR084997 was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The $306,858 award to Mira Medical, LLC supports the development of a machine learning framework called the Forearm Fracture AI-Driven Recommendation System (FFAIRS) to improve the management of pediatric forearm fractures. The primary goal is to leverage AI to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), is developing the X-Visual, a sensor to track fracture healing in cannulated screws used for hip fracture fixation. The $299,999 award to Aravis Biotech LLC will cover the design, computational modeling, and initial testing of this innovative device that can non-invasively measure screw bending...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $348,680 Project Grant from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The goal of this 2-year research project is to develop computational tools to accurately predict and interpret different knee pain spatial patterns in patients with osteoarthritis based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The project aims to adapt a deep...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $1,197,166 to Rhode Island Hospital to evaluate a neuromuscular mechanism that may explain differences in functional outcomes between two surgical approaches for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Applying a machine...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,744,358 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to develop novel analytical methods to understand post-fracture recovery trajectories in older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to 1) identify unique patient characteristics leading to poor longitudinal recovery outcomes, 2) develop joint modeling approaches to uncover shared mechanisms and enable...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will fund a multimethodological research study to quantify the mechanical effects of knee bracing and predict their ability to prevent ligamentous injury. The research will use a 6 DOF robotic testing system and computational modeling to: 1) determine the effects of prophylactic bracing on...
This Project Grant award of $246,800 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) will support the planning and development of the Musculoskeletal Adaptive Platform Trial (MAPT). The award aims to establish the necessary infrastructure and processes for an 18-month planning period to enable the simultaneous comparison of multiple interventions for patients 65 and...
This $456,808 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) is supporting the development of innovative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technologies to spatially visualize proteins and glycans in musculoskeletal tissues. The primary awardee, the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, is collaborating with researchers at the University of...
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) awarded a $1,037,340 Project Grant under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) to The Broad Institute, Inc. The purpose of this grant is to transform the Musculoskeletal Knowledge Portal (MSKKP) into an established biomedical knowledgebase. The project aims to integrate diverse omics datasets curated by musculoskeletal research experts and process them through analytical...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $649,391 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research aimed at enhancing healing after injury that is often slow and incomplete. The goal is to define the mechanism of injury response pathways that restrain healing, with the hope of developing new therapies to improve...
