- This $160,056 Project Grant awarded by 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 optimize antibiotic use and improve understanding of developmental pharmacokinetics in newborn infants. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify maternal antibiotic concentrations (ampicillin, gentamicin, vancomycin, clindamycin) in maternal and umbilical cord blood; and (2) perform...
- The Project Grant award of $632,928 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's (NICHD) Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports a research study on the neurodevelopmental, health, and economic outcomes of former very preterm infants randomized to an economic intervention supporting mother's own milk. The award, provided to Rush University Medical Center, will fund the comprehensive research initiative from September 2025...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $413,843 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to develop advanced biofabricated seminiferous tubules for in vitro spermatogenesis research. The proposed work aims to use micro-extrusion technology to precisely fabricate microtubes that mimic the cellular composition and organization of in vivo...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $2,207,322 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Nebraska Medical Center to develop dose flexible, ultra-long-acting prodrug formulations for antiretroviral therapy (ART) in pediatric HIV patients. The goal is to create a complete every 6-month integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based ART regimen, including bictegravir,...
- This $161,892 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 support research comparing the microbiome and human milk oligosaccharide composition of preterm infants' own mother's milk versus donor human milk. The study aims to evaluate how these differences relate to the preterm infant gut microbiome and growth outcomes from birth to 36...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $161,000 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY). The grant, awarded on July 23, 2024, will support research to identify the hepatic epigenomic adaptations to excessive early-life cholesterol exposure due to maternal hypercholesterolemia, and evaluate the efficacy of maternal...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $160,400 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the impact of U.S. immigration policies on dietary acculturation and childhood obesity among children of Mexican immigrants. The 2-year project (8/9/2024 - 7/31/2026) will analyze nationally-representative data linked to state and local immigration policy data to...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $248,999 Project Grant titled "Managing Excess Infant Energy Intake by Increasing Satiation Responsiveness in Dyadic Feeding Interactions" to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The project, funded under the NICHD's Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will examine infant, maternal, and dyadic feeding behaviors to understand the...
The U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a Project Grant of $428,208 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on September 12, 2025 under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to demonstrate the use of casein proteins from bovine milk to create amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) of insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for oral liquid formulations targeting infants and children. Key objectives include elucidating environmental factors for high-loading casein-based ASDs, assessing ASD stability and release kinetics, and evaluating in vivo bioavailability of casein-based ASDs containing the APIs ritonavir and furosemide compared to commercial formulations. The research will be conducted at Penn State and is expected to be completed by August 31, 2027.
