This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $1,544,693 to the University of Southern California to conduct a multi-method research study on gastrointestinal (GI) disorder trajectories and treatment responses among autistic sub-groups. The key products and services to be delivered include: Qualitative analysis of narrative interviews with 25 autistic adults and 25...
The federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) in the amount of $340,604.00 will support the development, refinement, and psychometric evaluation of four autism-specific gastrointestinal (GI) symptom measurement questionnaires. The research team at the Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc. will work with community participants to generate and...
This federal Project Grant award of $637,000 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to investigate the role of "microbially conjugated bile acids" (MCBAs) produced by the gut microbiome and their impact on gut inflammation. The key objectives are to: 1) define the microbiology of MCBA production and their resistance to hydrolysis, 2) determine the agonist...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) will support research to investigate the mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal dysfunction in Down syndrome (DS). The $232,875 award to Virginia Commonwealth University will fund a 2-year research project to study smooth muscle function and voltage-gated calcium channels in the distal colon of a DS mouse model. The research plan...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota, vitamin D deficiency, inflammation, and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) risk in older adults, including those with chronic HIV infection. The key research objectives include: 1) quantifying the independent associations between gut dysbiosis and vitamin D deficiency with ADRD; 2) testing whether inflammation mediates the effects...
This $2,058,873 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund a comprehensive research study investigating the relationship between maternal autoantibody reactivity, gestational inflammation, and child neurodevelopmental outcomes. The primary recipient, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, will leverage the Kaiser Permanente Research Biobank Pregnancy...
This $149,528 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program) supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate how influenza A virus (IAV) infection during pregnancy impacts the maternal gut microbiome and leads to adverse fetal and perinatal outcomes. The central hypothesis is that IAV-induced changes in the maternal gut microbiome, including reduced...
This $251,250 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research investigating the impact of maternal antibodies to the CASPR2 protein on the development of parvalbumin interneurons and their role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research aims to determine whether in-utero exposure to anti-CASPR2 antibodies results in sex-specific epigenetic effects that disrupt the normal maturation of...
This $1,970,885 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to leverage glycan-metabolite interactions to shape the structure and function of the gut microbiome. The key objectives are to: 1) Define the impact of butyrate on the composition of the Bacteroides bacteria in the gut microbiome, 2) Determine the role of the...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $504,283 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) to study the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children born preterm. The key objectives are to: Determine the epidemiology of ASD in preterm children and characterize associated risk factors. Estimate population-level measures of risk, such as heritability...
