Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc. to examine the dynamic relationships between physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms with neurobehavioral heterogeneity in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study will leverage wearable technology to objectively track daily activity,...

This is a federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The $809,312 grant aims to characterize circadian function and sleep disturbances among 250 children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) ages 6-9. The study will use gold-standard Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) assessment as well as innovative wearable sensors to evaluate the prevalence and impact of circadian dysfunction...

This $1,309,500 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program supports the development of a novel digital psychiatry diagnostic framework that utilizes crowdsourcing algorithms to improve the specificity of machine learning models in distinguishing between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescents. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year...

This $174,788 National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program focuses on enhancing the assessment and diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The project aims to develop computational approaches to collect and analyze ADHD-related data, leveraging technologies such as inertial movement units, touch-sensitive screens, and high-precision cameras to gather insights into hyperactivity behaviors. The goal is to...

This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will provide $633,671 to Rutgers University to evaluate the safety of prescription sleep medications in children, adolescents, and young adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The key objectives are to: 1) examine nationwide patterns of sleep medication use and dose escalation in youth with ADHD; 2) determine if sleep medications...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will provide $978,628 to Neurotrainer, Inc. to conduct a feasibility and efficacy study of their NeuroTrainer cognitive training platform for students with and without attention-related difficulties. The study aims to evaluate the ability of the NeuroTrainer virtual reality-based intervention to improve attentional and executive control functions, reduce...

This three-year $563,797 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to design health data-tracking technologies tailored for children. Led by the University of California Irvine, the award supports examining challenges in tracking children's health data through smartwatches, fitness bands, and patient monitors. The project consists of three stages. First, interviews will study data literacy, tracking experiences, and...

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $857,216 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to conduct a longitudinal study on the neurodevelopmental trajectories and social determinants leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Disruptive Behaviors (DB) in a diverse cohort of infants and preschoolers. The study aims to characterize...

This $256,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support Products For Any Lifestyle, Inc. (PAL) in developing a wearable device and machine learning model to predict and prevent meltdowns in children with autism. The NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program aims to advance breakthrough technologies addressing national challenges. PAL will create a prototype wearable that continuously monitors biometrics to predict meltdowns using individualized machine learning models. By...
