This federal Project Grant award of $2,442,535 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 goal of this 5-year project is to provide critically-needed evidence on how to implement newborn genomic sequencing, manage findings, and reanalyze data to ensure it provides lifelong benefits to individuals and advances public health. The key...
This $153,252 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) supports research to develop strategies for identifying individuals at high risk for genetic diseases in order to enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. The award has two key aims: 1) Reevaluating guidelines for universal preconception carrier screening to improve uptake and include new actionable...
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), funds the development and validation of a machine learning-based fetal monitoring system to predict and prevent fetal hypoxia. The $261,310 award will support the creation of a high-sensitivity, high-specificity predictive model using a multi-site dataset of 50,000 fetal monitoring tracings coupled with...
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), is funding research to develop machine learning techniques to monitor maternal and child health in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) using publicly available geotagged data. The $1,286,936 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University aims to address the challenge of scarce reliable data on maternal and...
This $178,000 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) supports research to develop an early life phenotyping framework for very preterm infants. The research aims to create 'perinatal phenotypes' by integrating variables such as reason for preterm birth, intrapartum care, and neonatal presentation, and then determine how these phenotypes contribute to...
This 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 develop a new approach for secondary fetal screening using 0.55T MRI. The $707,218 project aims to assess the potential of lower-field 0.55T MRI to serve as a secondary fetal screening modality for high-risk pregnancies with poor acoustic windows, compare its image quality and...
This Project Grant award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172), provides $446,042 to The Children's Hospital Corporation (dba Boston Children's Hospital) to develop and evaluate a web-based application called NEST. NEST is designed to empower families of infants diagnosed with rare genetic conditions to obtain appropriate follow-up care and management through personalized healthcare plans. The key objectives are to: 1)...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $1,802,392 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, Alabama. The goal of this 5-year grant, awarded on August 16, 2024, is to improve methods for identifying genetic contributors to rare diseases, especially neurodevelopmental disorders in children, using long-read genome sequencing technology. The...
This federal 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 fund a $693,365 research project to evaluate the longer-term impacts of a medical-financial partnership (MFP) intervention delivered through pediatric care. The MFP intervention provides financial coaching to low-income families, with the goal of improving child developmental...
This Project Grant award of $642,859 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 to develop and validate approaches for detecting and predicting prescribing errors in inpatient pediatric settings. The key goals are to: 1) validate an algorithmic approach to detect pediatric prescribing errors at scale, 2) validate the use of...

This 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), provides $434,500 to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital to develop an interpretable machine learning model that leverages maternal and infant electronic health record data to identify neonates in Level III NICUs who are most likely to benefit from early-life genome sequencing. The goal is to reduce health disparities by objectively identifying neonates from underserved populations who require genomic testing, mitigating provider- and system-driven biases that often contribute to unequal access to genetic services. The award period is from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
