This 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), funds the development and validation of a machine learning-based fetal monitoring system to predict and prevent fetal hypoxia. The $261,310 award will support the creation of a high-sensitivity, high-specificity predictive model using a multi-site dataset of 50,000 fetal monitoring tracings coupled with...
This $779,911 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to evaluate the impact of a music-based intervention (MBI) on preterm infant stress, brain development, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. The MBI will be delivered to preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between 32-40 weeks gestation, with outcomes assessed during the NICU stay and up to 2...
This Project Grant awarded 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) will support research to identify optimal electrophysiological markers for predicting developmental outcomes in infants. The $147,037 award to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute will fund a study examining the similarity between resting-state and auditory...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), supports research to evaluate the mechanisms of cell-free fetal DNA signaling in the promotion of labor. The $139,446 award, with a performance period from August 2024 to January 2025, will enable the grantee, Mayo Clinic, to pursue two key research objectives: 1) Evaluating...
This Project Grant award, identified as F32HD115302, 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 $241,032 award supports a comprehensive investigation by a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern California into the neurophysiological underpinnings of clinically observable sensory reactivity features in infants at varying levels...
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $588,880 Project Grant under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to develop fast and accurate methods for reconstructing 3D fetal brain volumes from 2D MRI scans. The goal is to integrate these coherent 3D brain volumes and automated brain biometric...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, supports research to investigate the role of TLR7/8-activating microRNAs in driving fetal inflammatory response syndrome and associated developmental consequences. The total award of $132,779 will enable the Principal Investigator at Yale University to determine if exosomes...
This $537,730 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), aims to develop advanced in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for studying infant brain development. The primary objectives are to achieve motion-robust, high-resolution (600mm isotropic) whole-brain quantitative MRI (qMRI) and diffusion MRI (dMRI) within clinically feasible scan...
This $193,953 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to develop and apply a novel ultrasonic brain imaging technology called functional ultrasound imaging (FUSI) to study motor activity in behaving infants. The project has two key objectives: 1) to assess the functional organization of the motor system in typically developing infants performing a reaching task using FUSI,...
This federal Project Grant award of $567,977 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) aims to develop optimized wearable magnetoencephalography (OPM-MEG) technology for simultaneously recording brain activity in caregiver-infant dyads during naturalistic social interactions. The funded work will build on the grantee's existing OPM-MEG methods...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to develop a non-invasive method for measuring fetal neurological activity using abdominal electroencephalography (EEG). The $451,850 award to Yale University will be used to first compare the new computerized abdominal fetal EEG (CAB-FEEG) technique to the existing invasive vaginal fetal EEG (V-FEEG) monitoring method. Clinical experts will then evaluate the neurological features detected by both CAB-FEEG and V-FEEG. The goal is to provide a strong evidence base for the CAB-FEEG technique as a non-invasive alternative to directly measure fetal neurological activity, which could help reduce preventable birth-related brain injuries. The award period runs from Sep 2024 through Aug 2026.
