Project Grant R21HD114922
- This $163,145 Project Grant awarded on August 7, 2025 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), aims to address critical questions pertaining to impaired placentation associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR). The principal investigator, a pediatric and fetal surgeon, will use this 5-year award to develop unique cross-disciplinary skills and...
- The federal Project Grant award of $429,000 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 characterize placental extracellular vesicles (EVs) throughout human pregnancy. The goal is to develop novel methods to image, count, isolate, and validate placental cell- and size-specific EVs from maternal blood, in order to monitor placental...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $2,255,352 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver. The award, effective September 15, 2025 through May 31, 2028, will fund research to determine the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the transfer of inflammatory signals across...
- This Project Grant award of $226,608.00 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) is funding research to identify the mechanistic link between fetal glucagon and placental nutrient delivery. The goal is to establish how fetal glucagon regulates placental lactogen secretion and uterine blood flow as an adaptive mechanism for matching nutrient supply to...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded 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), is supporting research on the role of decidual extracellular vesicles in mediating placental insufficiency. The $654,671 award, which commenced on August 1, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2030, is being conducted by the awardee, Yale University. The key...
- This federal Project Grant award for $152,816.00, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), aims to investigate the link between Down's syndrome (trisomy 21) and placentation defects. The research will focus on: Identifying transcriptional differences in implantation-stage trophoblasts between trisomy 21 and euploid induced pluripotent stem cell lines through RNA-sequencing. Assessing the...
- The U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $766,982 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to develop and validate a novel computational framework to simulate uteroplacental hemodynamics and placentation, with the goal of identifying metrics for early detection of pregnancy complications related to abnormal placental formation. This research...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $423,985 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Illinois to develop a novel non-invasive monitoring system for detecting placental dysfunction and associated pregnancy complications. The funding will support research to utilize extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in maternal blood as biomarkers, using a "target recycling...
- This $249,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports research at the University of Florida focused on in utero interventions to prevent adverse metabolic health outcomes, including non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $411,125 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Syracuse University to develop a microfluidic human placenta organoid model. The goal is to generate human trophoblast stem cells (HTSCs) from induced pluripotent stem cells and use them to create a placenta organoid system that can replicate early/mid-gestation placental development. The researchers will study the role of...
This $429,000 federal Project Grant award, funded 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), supports research to investigate the gene and environmental influences on placental angiogenesis and severe fetal growth restriction. The University of Colorado-Denver, the awardee organization, will leverage induced pluripotent stem cell technology to better understand how placental angiogenic deficiencies arise and how fetal genetic susceptibility impacts placental development. This 2-year research project aims to address key gaps in knowledge around the causes of inadequate placental vascularization, a common finding in cases of fetal growth restriction with absent or reversed umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry, which is associated with high perinatal morbidity and mortality.
