This federal Project Grant award of $160,000 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Northwestern University supports research to directly evaluate the neural pathways involved in post-stroke hemiparesis. The objective is to generate fMRI data capturing activity in the corticospinal tract (CST) and cortico-reticulospinal tract (CRST) during unilateral hand-grasping tasks with the paretic versus...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $170,617 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Illinois to advance the scientific study of brain functional changes after a stroke and pioneer a tailored rehabilitation strategy that fits each individual's needs. The 5-year project aims to combine different imaging methods to guide electrical brain stimulation that improves the recovery of movement for stroke patients, potentially benefiting over half a...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports research to investigate the use of operant conditioning of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to target corticospinal plasticity and improve upper limb motor recovery in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). The $115,881 award, effective April 15, 2025 through March 31, 2027, will...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $675,676 to The Medical University of South Carolina to determine the efficacy of combining two known anti-depressant treatments, aerobic exercise and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, on post-stroke depressive symptoms. The award will also examine whether successful reduction in depressive symptoms is associated with improved...
This federal Project Grant award of $618,907.00 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) will support the development and optimization of novel neurostimulation strategies to restore intuitive and informative somatosensation to people with tetraplegia. The primary goals are to: 1) Determine the impact of spatiotemporal intracortical microstimulation...
This 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 provide $372,870 to Texas Woman's University (TWU) to conduct research on the behavioral and neural correlates of post-stroke fatigue. The project aims to determine if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can reduce post-stroke fatigue assessed through clinical and behavioral measures,...
This $330,000 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 characterize the functional and anatomical connectivity of motor pathways in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). The primary objectives are to use multimodal neuroimaging techniques, including functional near-infrared spectroscopy and transcranial magnetic stimulation, to identify...
