- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $161,735 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the Metis Foundation, a non-profit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The funding will support a pilot feasibility study on a single-session, CBT-informed treatment for loss-of-control eating during pregnancy. The goal is to develop a brief, evidence-based intervention...
- This $295,128 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program supports the development and feasibility testing of an app-based Circadian Synchronization Therapy with Light (CST-L) intervention for pregnant women. The goal is to create a mobile application for iOS and Android that can help improve maternal mood, health, and infant sleep by optimizing circadian...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) a $1,529,996 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, will fund a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the impact of a Community Health Worker (CHW)-delivered telehealth intervention, called CARE PATH, on postpartum health outcomes in...
- The U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $766,982 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project aims to develop and validate a novel computational framework to simulate uteroplacental hemodynamics and placentation, with the goal of identifying metrics for early detection of pregnancy complications related to abnormal placental formation. This research...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has awarded a $423,985 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Illinois to develop a novel non-invasive monitoring system for detecting placental dysfunction and associated pregnancy complications. The funding will support research to utilize extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in maternal blood as biomarkers, using a "target recycling...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $152,000 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees to study the effectiveness of interventions that promote physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior during pregnancy. The goal is to identify approaches that can improve maternal and infant health outcomes, as sedentary behavior during pregnancy...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $429,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865: Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, to develop a new imaging tool to assess placental hemodynamics during pregnancy. The study aims to determine if Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound can provide a safe, non-invasive, and real-time method...
- 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 Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865) provides $313,180.00 to Amahealth LLC to develop an AI-powered method for accurately predicting the onset of labor in pregnant women. The 8-month project aims to enhance the team's existing work by using deep learning on maternal physiological data from wearable sensors to...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $321,341 Project Grant to Starship Health Technologies LLC to develop the Pathways Through Pregnancy (PTP) intervention. The goal of the PTP intervention is to decrease severe maternal morbidity (SMM) among low-income women by leveraging community-based health navigators and a smartphone app called Pathways. The three-phase project aims to: 1) design the PTP intervention with input from pregnant women, community members, and healthcare personnel; 2) design and prototype the Pathways app; and 3) conduct a feasibility assessment of PTP and the Pathways app for further development and commercialization. This grant is funded through the NICHD's Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), which supports comprehensive research initiatives to advance understanding of human development, reproductive health, and child/adolescent wellness.
