Each year the NIH's Heart, Lung and Blood Institute awards researchers around the country with grants to support research of new treatments and drug targets for different health disorders. These grants, known as CADET II grants (Centers for Advanced Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics in Lung Diseases Stage II) are awarded to support research that has moved past the initial stage of developing a new drug, but is not yet ready to begin clinical trial testing.

A researcher at Rutgers University is cooking up some groundbreaking new cancer research with a little help from extra-virgin olive oil.
According to a World Health Report, over 8 million people are killed annually by some form of cancer. However, scientists have recently discovered an ingredient in extra-virgin olive oil that kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells. The ingredient, called oleocanthal, contains a compound that ruptures cancerous cells, which in turn causes the release of certain enzymes that kill the cancer cell itself.

As part of an ongoing effort to understand and treat autism, the Steele Children's Research Center at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson has received a four-year, $2 million grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to continue its Arizona Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. This lifelong developmental disability is typically characterized by repetitive or restricted behaviors or interests and marked impairment in social communication and interaction.

The best course of action for those affected with congestive heart failure, which affects millions of Americans, is most often a heart valve transplant. Since the condition is so prevalent, however, there are seldom enough donors to meet the rising demand for replacement valves.
Thanks to recent funding given to the University of California, San Diego, those affected by congestive heart failure may have renewed hope in the form of ongoing stem cell bioresearch projects.
