This federal Project Grant award of $2,442,535 was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The goal of this 5-year project is to provide critically-needed evidence on how to implement newborn genomic sequencing, manage findings, and reanalyze data to ensure it provides lifelong benefits to individuals and advances public health. The key...
This $153,252 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) supports research to develop strategies for identifying individuals at high risk for genetic diseases in order to enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. The award has two key aims: 1) Reevaluating guidelines for universal preconception carrier screening to improve uptake and include new actionable...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $1,802,392 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, Alabama. The goal of this 5-year grant, awarded on August 16, 2024, is to improve methods for identifying genetic contributors to rare diseases, especially neurodevelopmental disorders in children, using long-read genome sequencing technology. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (CFDA 93.172 - Human Genome Research) will provide $415,712 to Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) to study how public health newborn screening programs should determine which genes to include in sequencing panels. The key objectives are to: Appraise and contrast the approaches and criteria used by experts conducting newborn sequencing studies to determine which genes to screen, synthesizing decision...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,808,868 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms driving ciliopathy-associated structural birth defects. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will identify and characterize genetic variants of interest from patient and variant repositories,...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $434,500 to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital to develop an interpretable machine learning model that leverages maternal and infant electronic health record data to identify neonates in Level III NICUs who are most likely to benefit from early-life genome...
This $178,000 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) supports research to develop an early life phenotyping framework for very preterm infants. The research aims to create 'perinatal phenotypes' by integrating variables such as reason for preterm birth, intrapartum care, and neonatal presentation, and then determine how these phenotypes contribute to...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $422,125 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). The grant, awarded on July 1, 2025, aims to implement a novel chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to non-invasively track antiretroviral (ARV)-linked fetal neurodevelopmental adverse events during gestation...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will develop a new approach for secondary fetal screening using 0.55T MRI. The $707,218 project aims to assess the potential of lower-field 0.55T MRI to serve as a secondary fetal screening modality for high-risk pregnancies with poor acoustic windows, compare its image quality and...
This $829,637 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to determine the effectiveness of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) at reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in pregnant individuals with type 2 diabetes. The research will define adequate glycemic control targets for CGM and self-monitoring of blood glucose, and identify social...
