This Project Grant award of $248,999 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 identify effective therapeutic agents for the management of infection-induced preterm labor. The key objectives are to: 1) Optimize a high-throughput screening assay to measure changes in pro-inflammatory cytokines released from gestational membrane explants in response to...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $424,875 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to investigate the role of placental serum amyloid A (SAA) isoforms in response to sub-chronic maternal inflammation and explore whether inhibition of the SAA2 isoform using small interfering RNA (siRNA) can alleviate preterm birth and adverse fetal outcomes. The project aims...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), is focused on studying the effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) exposure on fetal immune system development in rhesus macaques. The $534,721 award to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) will support research across two specific aims. The first aim is to determine the effects of...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded a USD 260,887 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. The grant will fund research to examine the relationship between placental insufficiency, brain metabolic dysfunction, and neurodevelopmental deficits resulting from chronic in utero hypoxia. The research leverages the awardee's expertise in neuroscience, imaging,...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded a 5-year, $1,613,015 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Washington. The objective of this grant is to define the impact of maternal viral infections and inflammation on immune programming within the fetal brain and lymphoid organs using a non-human primate (NHP) model. Specifically, the grant will fund research to: 1) Use an ex vivo microculture...
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), provides $414,026 to the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio to study the mechanisms by which maternal inflammation and interleukin-10 (IL-10) restrict fetal emergency myelopoiesis, with the goal of improving neonatal immune function and outcomes. The research aims to identify the...
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), will support research to examine the impact of maternal viral infection and inflammation on the development of innate-like gamma delta (γδ) T cells in the fetal thymus. The $478,566.06 award, effective from September 5, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable researchers at the University of Vermont & State...
This $1,376,850 federal Project Grant award, issued on August 9, 2024 by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), is supporting research to develop interventions to protect HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants against severe infections. The key goals are to: Define the immunogenomic and metabolomic profiles that explain the increased immune dysfunction and vulnerability to infections in...
This $239,399 federal 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 support research on the effects of human milk feeding on neurodevelopment in preterm infants. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Idaho, will utilize a neonatal piglet model to examine how human milk feeding influences intestinal barrier function, inflammation, and...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $152,216 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the University of Washington to study the association between adverse maternal factors and child neurodevelopmental outcomes in Kenya. The research aims to determine how maternal factors like age, depression, anemia, HIV, and nutrition affect human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) composition, and assess if HMOs mediate the...
