Researchers at The University of Kansas Cancer Center have secured a $3.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to study high-dose intravenous Vitamin C for treating muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This type of cancer occurs when cancer cells spread to the muscle layer of the bladder wall.
A Wayne State University Ph.D. student is recipient of a F31 award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development that aims to address a major public health concern in persons with MS that results in increased falls, decreased physical activity and loss of independence.
Extreme-scale science recognizes that disruptive technology changes are occurring across science applications, algorithms, computer architectures, and ecosystems. Emerging trends in this technology span key areas including high-end computing, massive datasets, visualization, and artificial intelligence on increasingly heterogeneous computer architectures.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has awarded the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) a $2 million grant over five years.
A $5 million gift will help in planning for the establishment of the new historically Black medical school in New Orleans
Supported by $88 million in funding from the Department of Energy’s Grid Resilience and Innovative Partnerships (GRIP) program, this project will significantly advance tribal energy sovereignty, climate resilience, jobs equity, and clean energy innovation.The 142 mile-long “Hoopa 1101” distribution circuit provides electricity to three tribes in eastern Humboldt County – the Hoopa, Yurok, and Karuk Tribes – who jointly experience some of the most frequent and longest duration outages in California.
The project aims to develop strategies to enhance the thermal stability of metal chalcogenide materials.
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), the largest coalition of biomedical research associations in the United States, received a $2.3 million grant over five years to enhance diversity within the academic biomedical research workforce.
Rutgers University researchers will lead several components of a $72.5 million federal initiative to fortify New Jersey's coast against climate change and extreme weather events. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded the grant to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for the Building a Climate Ready New Jersey program.
UCLA Health researchers, in collaboration with researchers from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, have received $9.5 million award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with support from European funding agencies — The Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and the Public Health Agency Health & Social Care (HSC) — to study the effects of polyphenols on cognitive health and the brain-gut microbiome system.
A third-generation Anton supercomputer, developed by D. E. Shaw Research, will soon arrive at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. A $3.15-million, five-year award from the National Institutes of Health will fund the system's operations, making it available without cost for non-commercial use by biomedical researchers at U.S. universities and other nonprofit institutions.
CRI has announced its new class of 2024 Scientists Taking Risks (STARs) grant recipients who are expert cancer immunotherapy researchers.
The Supporting Healthy Aging Resources & Education (SHARE) Network has received $5 million in additional federal funds to train and support Illinois healthcare workers and community groups serving geriatric patient populations.
