- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of California, San Diego $153,560 on December 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate gene regulatory mechanisms driving totipotency induction in human stem cells. The research examines how RNA splicing dysfunction alters early human development through integrative transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic profiling. The work focuses on...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded California Institute of Technology $100,228 on December 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct research identifying molecular and structural cues introduced at fertilization that influence early cell fate biases in the mammalian embryo. The research traces how sperm-derived components and the second polar body establish asymmetries as early as the 2-cell stage,...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Southern California $347,919 on July 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865, Assistance Listing 93.HDR) to decipher the role of RG motifs in piRNA-mediated silencing and transgenerational fertility. The research investigates how arginine/glycine (RG) motifs in PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway proteins PRG-1 and HRDE-1 regulate germline gene expression...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Trustees of Dartmouth College $450,250 on June 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate how three RNA-binding proteins—PATL2, PUM1, and PUM2—regulate translational control during oocyte meiosis and early embryogenesis in a mouse model. The research uses cutting-edge technologies to define the unique and shared mRNA targets of these proteins and determine...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Massachusetts $157,427 on May 25, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate the role of maternal MCM4 protein in zygotic DNA replication and the oocyte-to-embryo transition. The research uses live imaging, immunofluorescence, and RNA sequencing to examine how maternal MCM4 governs zygotic replication and mitotic fidelity in oocyte-specific...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded University of California Irvine $233,528 on September 27, 2025, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program to support research on gene regulatory redundancy in mammalian development. The recipient will conduct experimental work to identify distinct transcription factors driving shadow enhancers—redundant non-coding DNA elements that control gene expression during development—and...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded $668,485 to the University of California, San Diego on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate DNA repair mechanisms in hypoxia-induced placental genomic instability.
