- This $496,496 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) supports the development of chemical probes to improve diagnosis and treatment of otitis media (OM), or middle ear infection. The primary aim is to create fluorescent probes that can covalently label bacterial enzymes involved in cell wall formation, enabling specific...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $459,264 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286). The award, which runs from Apr 8, 2025 to Feb 28, 2029, will support research and development to enhance resolution and contrast in magnetic resonance (MR) neuroimaging. This is intended to help standardize the appearance of MR neuroimages...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), will support research to optimize and validate an AI model that screens for arteriovenous fistula stenosis in dialysis patients using sound files from a digital stethoscope. The overarching goal is to determine if this novel screening approach using AI and digital stethoscope...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), provides $642,000 to develop an automated assessment pipeline for evaluating peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in pediatric chest radiographs using deep learning algorithms. The goal is to create an accurate, robust, and clinically available tool to automatically...
- This $1,302,060 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health (CFDA 93.286) program aims to develop an AI-assisted strategy for monitoring pulmonary congestion in acute heart failure patients in emergency settings. The primary goals are to automate lung ultrasound congestion scoring using AI/ML methods and a dataset of heart failure patients,...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $594,891 Project Grant under the "Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health" (CFDA 93.286) program to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). The grant aims to develop deep-learning anthropomorphic model observers (AMO) as a substitute for human observers in studies evaluating image quality and diagnostic performance. The project will create annotated image...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $263,749 Project Grant under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to Sound Innovation LLC in Albany, NY. The grant supports the development of a portable small animal imager to accelerate drug development. The project aims to create a cost-effective and high-quality imaging solution to improve the preclinical stage of the drug development...
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), awarded a $1,535,084 Project Grant to Glimpse Diagnostics, Inc. to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for diagnosing ear disease in young children. The project aims to 1) test the algorithm's performance on images of children with ear pain, and 2) demonstrate healthcare providers' ability to use and understand the algorithm's outputs when assessing ear images. This work will provide the data needed to obtain FDA clearance for the AI algorithm, which has the potential for widespread use in telemedicine platforms and healthcare systems to improve the accuracy of pediatric ear disease diagnosis.
