This federal 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) will be used to develop advanced risk models for predicting severe maternal morbidity (SMM). The $684,290 award, effective March 10, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will leverage longitudinal electronic health record and claims data, as well as social determinants of health data, to characterize the study...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,286,936.00 from the 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 leverage machine learning and publicly available geotagged data to monitor maternal and child health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The project, with a period of performance from August 2024 to April 2029, aims to develop innovative...
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...
This $768,122 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences will support the development of statistical software to predict adverse medical events in preterm infants using multi-sensor streaming data. The awardee, William D Shannon Consulting LLC doing business as Biorankings, will develop an algorithm to transform sensor data from neonatal intensive care units into graphical representations of associations. Decision rules from statistical process control will then...
This Project Grant award of $451,850 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 the development of a non-invasive method to measure fetal neurological activity using abdominal electroencephalography (EEG). The primary recipient, Yale University, aims to validate their "Computerized Abdominal Fetal EEG" (CAB-FEEG) technique by comparing its accuracy to the...
This Project Grant award of $171,720 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 by Dr. Nathan Blue at the University of Utah to improve risk stratification approaches for fetal growth restriction (FGR). The key objectives are to: 1) test the use of maternal genetic information to individualize birth weight prediction in uncomplicated pregnancies, and 2)...
The University of Illinois was awarded a $419,357 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program. The funding will support a 2-year research project to develop interpretable machine learning models that integrate electronic medical records and neighborhood-level social determinants of health to predict perinatal depression risk among minority women of color. The goal is...
This $318,724 federal Project Grant award, 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 the advanced development and testing of an optical probe that monitors peripheral tissue oxygenation as a marker of systemic hemodynamics in critically ill neonates. The awardee, Pendar Technologies LLC, a small business manufacturer in Cambridge, MA, is developing a resonance...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded a USD 260,887 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. The grant will fund research to examine the relationship between placental insufficiency, brain metabolic dysfunction, and neurodevelopmental deficits resulting from chronic in utero hypoxia. The research leverages the awardee's expertise in neuroscience, imaging,...
