- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865), aims to investigate the potential impacts of postpartum exogenous oxytocin administration on maternal-neonatal oxytocin signaling and behavior in a translational rat model. The $427,625 award, granted on August 6, 2025, will fund research conducted by The Washington University to: 1) quantify...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $624,998 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to Giner Inc. of Auburndale, Massachusetts. The award will fund the development and validation of an electrochemical assay and point-of-care instrument for highly sensitive, near-real-time perinatal monitoring of oxytocin levels. Oxytocin is a critical neuropeptide hormone for facilitating childbirth and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program, provides $235,803 to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to bioengineer an in vitro 3D human myometrium model. The goal is to directly evaluate the kinetics (amplitude, velocity, and duration) of myometrial smooth muscle contraction in response to oxytocin, a synthetic hormone...
- The federal Project Grant award, valued at $743,287.00 and 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 a multi-disciplinary research effort to uncover novel insights into endocervical mucus secretion. The primary goal of this 5-year project, which began on May 20, 2025, is to identify the cells and pathways that influence mucus changes in response to hormonal...

- This $760,950 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports research at the University of Michigan to characterize how antibody fragments can modulate the signaling of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as the oxytocin receptor and angiotensin II type I receptor, which are important in maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. The...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $427,625 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The grant aims to provide a mechanistic understanding of how maternal obesity affects uterine contractility and energy metabolism during labor and parturition. The researchers will use a mouse model of diet-induced obesity to investigate the impacts of excess fatty acids...
