- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded the University of Texas at Austin $393,284 on June 13, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to conduct basic research on synaptic structural plasticity and stroke rehabilitation. The project examines how the brain remodels neural circuitry following stroke, with focus on reactive synaptogenesis—the growth of new connections among surviving neurons near...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Utah $667,666 on June 3, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Projects program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct a multimodal intervention study combining transcranial random noise stimulation with functional electrical stimulation-assisted task-specific practice to promote motor recovery and upper-extremity function in stroke survivors with chronic moderate-to-severe impairment. The...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Arizona State University $160,620 on June 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to characterize bilateral ankle mechanics post-stroke and their relationship to impaired posture and gait function. The project addresses knowledge gaps in how stroke affects ankle joint control during upright posture and walking. Previous stroke research has been limited to seated...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Maryland, Baltimore $433,595 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct a proof-of-concept study examining whether blood flow restriction combined with low-intensity resistance training enhances force generation and motor performance in stroke survivors with upper extremity paresis. The study will enroll thirty-two participants with...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Emory University $651,940 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate altered cortical control of heteronymous spinal reflex pathways as a mechanism of lower limb motor impairment after stroke. The research examines how damage to the motor cortex impairs modulatory control of heteronymous reflexes—spinal pathways that normally promote coordinated...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Illinois $110,228 on December 3, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to develop a markerless motion-capture tool for objectively evaluating motor impairments in stroke survivors. The project, titled "Action Likelihood to Evaluate Weakness, Abnormal Motor Synergies, and Spasticity in Stroke Survivors,"...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation $170,640 on July 15, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to support a K23 career development award investigating childhood stroke predictors of motor recovery. The award funds a physician-scientist's career development and research program centered on neurorecovery mechanisms in pediatric acquired brain injury, with...
