Project Grant R21HD117555
- This Project Grant award, totaling $419,014, 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 grant supports research to investigate the role of the transcription factor SOX9 in regulating the ovulatory process and corpus luteum development in the human ovary. The research aims to provide critical insights into the mechanisms underlying...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $643,049.00, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports the development of a physiomimetic model of endometrioma, a type of endometriotic lesion, to study processes driving lesion initiation, ovarian stroma invasion, and persistence in a chronic inflammatory environment. The research aims to uncover...
- The federal Project Grant award, valued at $743,287.00 and funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports a multi-disciplinary research effort to uncover novel insights into endocervical mucus secretion. The primary goal of this 5-year project, which began on May 20, 2025, is to identify the cells and pathways that influence mucus changes in response to hormonal...
- The federal Project Grant titled "NEUROENDOCRINE COMPUTATIONS UNDERLYING AN ENDURING BEHAVIORAL STATE" was 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). The $571,485 award, with a performance period from August 2025 to June 2030, will support research by The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to investigate the...
- This Project Grant award of $249,000 was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC). The funding will support a 3-year research project to study the transcriptional regulation and intercellular signaling at the maternal-fetal interface, with the goal of developing a prognostic model to relate individual...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the CFDA program "Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research", provides $125,814 to support research on quantifying germ cell lineage dynamics in mammalian oogenesis (female egg cell development). The award aims to characterize the process of germ cell selection and the functional importance of early germ cell heterogeneity in shaping the developing ovarian...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $665,122 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.865) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The grant aims to study the role of the glucocorticoid receptor in the ovary, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms by which glucocorticoids regulate ovulation, corpus luteum development, and female fertility. The 5-year project, running...
- The Project Grant award titled "UNDERSTANDING FUNCTIONS OF LTR RETROTRANSPOSON ACTIVATION IN PREIMPLANTATION DEVELOPMENT" is funded 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 $401,927 award supports research to understand how long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons regulate zygotic gene activation and early embryogenesis. The research...
- This $221,448 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), aims to determine the role of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in oogenesis and oocyte (egg cell) health. The research will be conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill using the oogenic germline of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The goal is to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $154,000 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to investigate the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the ovulatory process. The research aims to identify the top 5 most highly LH/HCG-regulated lncRNAs and characterize their function in the ovary, particularly the role of the lncRNA GM12648 in regulating genes...
This federal Project Grant award, 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), supports research on the novel role of the corpus luteum (CL) in female reproduction. The $446,875 award to the University of Connecticut aims to investigate fundamental functions of the CL beyond its established role in regulating implantation and pregnancy, leveraging the powerful genetic tools and conserved reproductive processes of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) model. The research seeks to elucidate the previously unknown functions of CL in lower vertebrates and invertebrates, which may represent more fundamental and evolutionarily conserved roles across metazoans. The project is scheduled for completion by Jul 31, 2027.
