This $406,250 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program supports research to uncover the mechanisms of action of general anesthetics. The principal investigator at the University of Pennsylvania will utilize a propofol derivative called Propofluor as a research tool to "reverse engineer" the mechanisms of anesthetic action. Through pharmacological investigations and the...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, through its Health Sciences Division, has been awarded a $452,375 Project Grant by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). This funding will support a 2-year research project to investigate the role of cerebral pericytes in age-related vasodilatory responses to inhaled anesthetics, and the potential link to...
This federal Project Grant award of $985,026 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, aims to investigate the roles and mechanisms of epitranscriptomic regulation in the development and function of the mammalian nervous system, as well as the pathological consequences of disrupting these processes. The research program will utilize mouse models and human induced...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $181,234 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will fund research to study the impact of early psychostimulant exposure on sleep neurophysiology and circadian rhythms in animal models of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The research aims to break down the complex relationship between ADHD, psychostimulant medications like methylphenidate, and their...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) federal grant program, provides $426,000.00 to the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. The funding supports a series of innovative experiments to identify the behavioral and brain changes underlying the different effects of neonatal pain in male and female rats. Specifically, the research aims to examine sex differences in the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program provides $394,160 to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to study the impact of common anesthetics on lymphatic vessel contractility and extracellular fluid uptake. The goal is to use advanced lymphatic imaging techniques in a novel murine critical care model to...
This federal Project Grant award of $413,690 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to delineate the neuronal circuits and signaling pathways that regulate developmental timing in response to social cues in the model organism C. elegans. The research aims to identify how the nervous system non-autonomously regulates organismal growth and development, with the potential to alter...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program, is for $798,538 to support the development of an elderly patient-specific, accurate, intuitive and highly interpretable system for unconsciousness management in general anesthesia. The project aims to utilize brain state markers like the Alpha Modulation Index (AMI) and Slow Frequency Modulation Index (SMI), along with a Patient-Specific Instantaneous...
This Project Grant award, valued at $481,250.00 and provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, aims to develop a synthetic biological system to manipulate subcellular RNAs and proteins in growth cones or synapses of subtype- and context-specific neurons. The goal is to enable unique forms of subcellular functional investigation in subtype- and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,491,602 to Pascall Systems, Inc. to develop an integrated brain state monitoring system for personalized anesthesia decision support. The project aims to prevent postoperative delirium in elderly patients and those at risk for Alzheimer's or related dementias. Key objectives include: 1) establishing technical feasibility to integrate the system with electronic medical records, infusion pumps,...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports a research program to investigate the effects of anesthetic and sedative exposure on brain development. The $426,250 award, effective from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030, will fund studies using cutting-edge translational laboratory approaches to determine whether anesthetic and sedative exposure poses a risk to human brain health. Specifically, the research will examine the impact of these exposures on the formation of synapses and myelin, which are critical for the development of neural circuitry. The program will also investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms, specifically related to the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling system, to provide insights that can help move this field forward. This research is aimed at addressing a fundamental knowledge gap regarding the potential neurotoxicity of anesthetic and sedative drugs on human brain development.
