This $148,956 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to develop scalable methods for quantifying epileptic networks and guiding epilepsy surgery. The primary objectives are to: (1) develop standardized quantitative methods to analyze structural imaging, intracranial EEG (IEEG), and clinical data across...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $499,953.00 to Stem Pharm, Incorporated to develop and validate a human stem cell-derived neural organoid model for studying temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The project aims to create a reproducible, 96-well plate format organoid model that incorporates microglia to better...
This $498,995 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program supports the development of a highly parallelized interferometric near-infrared spectroscopy (INIRS) platform for the real-time, non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow. The research aims to address the limitations of current stroke diagnosis and monitoring techniques...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $224,258 to the University of Pittsburgh from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The goal of this project is to develop and validate a computer-aided diagnostic tool, the Functional Seizures Likelihood Score (FSLS), to enhance the ability of non-expert providers to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to Northeastern University under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program (CFDA 47.084) to develop a smart seizure prediction system using AI-enabled implantable sensor networks. The system will use embedded artificial intelligence algorithms to enable in-situ medical inference for patients with neurological disorders not treatable with antiepilepsy medications. Northeastern University will develop the...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Oregon a $301,172 project grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The purpose of this 3-year project is to develop scalable fabrication methods for high-density amorphous silicon carbide microelectrode arrays to enable chronic neural interfacing for recording neural activity in studies...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.853), provides $1,204,564.00 to Neurologic Solutions Inc. to further develop and validate the EPISCALP EEG analytics algorithm. The goal is to enhance the accuracy of epilepsy diagnosis by leveraging EPISCALP's predictive capabilities to reduce misdiagnosis rates, which currently range from 20-42%. The project aims to validate EPISCALP's performance through prospective observational studies at three renowned U.S. epilepsy centers and assess the tool's usability while developing a regulatory and rollout plan. The funding supports this 3-year project from August 2024 through July 2027.
