This Project Grant award, provided 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 comparative study investigating the mechanistic effects of human milk feeding on neurodevelopment in preterm infants. The $239,399 award to the Regents of the University of Idaho will utilize a neonatal piglet model to examine how human milk feeding influences intestinal barrier function, inflammation, and neurocognitive outcomes, compared to infant formula feeding. The project aims to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms and validate relevant non-invasive biomarkers to enhance research translation. A sub-award of an unspecified amount will support collaborative research efforts with the University of Washington. The overall objective is to provide critical knowledge to optimize early feeding practices and mitigate long-term neurodevelopmental deficits in preterm infants.
