The Project Grant award R43GM156169 for $306,852.00, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), aims to develop and validate cryopreservation technology that automates the soaking, cooling, and warming of small biological samples such as oocytes and embryos. The key objectives are to optimize convective heat transfer to achieve ultra-fast cooling and warming rates, eliminate ice formation and...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $275,001 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program to Jun Innovations Inc. to develop a novel supercooling technology for preserving biological materials like ovaries at subzero temperatures without freezing. The goal is to enable extended storage durations and higher recovery rates of ovarian functionality compared to traditional cryopreservation methods,...
This Project Grant award of $185,500 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will enable Idaho State University (ISU) to detect, monitor, and track extrinsic factors such as temperature, humidity, light, noise, and vibration within the animal research facility. The goal is to improve research outcomes, animal welfare, and facility operations by maintaining consistent and ideal environmental conditions for research animals, reducing...
This $550,000 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research at Iowa State University to improve understanding and assessment of boar sperm fertility. The university will identify biochemical differences between more and less fertile boar sperm to better understand the molecular mechanisms of fertility and infertility. Researchers will also translate sperm...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $192,056 to the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation, a non-profit organization located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to research the feasibility and safety of using adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy to restore fertility in mammalian models of non-obstructive azoospermia. The key research objectives are to 1)...
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $349,584 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to outfit 14 individually ventilated animal caging racks with a digital ventilated cage (DVC) retrofit kit and rack environmental monitoring (REM) system. This advanced caging system will utilize machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor the animal facility 24/7, enabling improved animal welfare,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) provides $305,093 to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop innovative pressure-modulated cryopreservation systems for high-subzero liver preservation. The project aims to advance organ preservation methods beyond traditional isochoric cooling to eliminate the risk of ice formation and...
This $349,788 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will establish a state-of-the-art vivarium dedicated to the UTRGV laboratory opossum (Monodelphis domestica) research resource. The funds will be used to purchase and install 10 racks of an individualized ventilated cage (IVC) system, providing 1,300 cages for individually housed opossums and 546 cages for mated pairs, mothers with litters, and groups of...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) provides $294,543 to Objective Biotechnology, Inc. to develop a machine vision guided robotic system for automating microinjections into fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) embryos. The goal is to eliminate the need for manual, labor-intensive microinjection protocols and accelerate the process of generating and maintaining transgenic fly lines, which are critical for...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $650,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to the University of Nebraska from May 2023 through April 2026. The project aims to address heat stress impacts on swine production through three objectives: determining effects on boar reproductive endocrinology, assessing impacts to sperm production, health and fertility; and investigating impairments to cellular and molecular...
