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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $826,902 to the Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc. to investigate the dynamic relationships between physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms with heterogeneity in clinical symptoms and neurobehavioral functioning in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study will leverage...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $319,556 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The project aims to advance computational modeling of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through multimodal data collection, fusion, and phenotyping. The research team will integrate behavioral data (e.g. eye tracking, audio/video) with neuroimaging data...
This $200,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, aims to develop the mathematical and statistical foundations for a Digital Twin (DT) system to enhance care and support for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The project, led by George Mason University, will create a unified DT system that integrates clinical and neurodevelopmental data to enable individualized models,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) EAGER: TASKDCL award, funded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports the development of a novel extended reality system to assess attention deficit disorders and other cognitive functions. The $320,000 grant, awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington, aims to create an immersive, interactive virtual environment that leverages principles of embodied cognition to provide more accurate and comprehensive cognitive profiles. The system will...
This $857,216 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants will be used by Boston Children's Hospital to conduct a longitudinal study examining the neurodevelopmental trajectories and social determinants leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behaviors in children. The study will leverage an existing large, diverse cohort of low-resourced infants seen in an...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) provides $367,708 in funding to the University of Southern California (USC) for a research project titled "Neural Substrates of Autism and ADHD: Reward Circuitry Connectivity and Individual Differences". The key objectives of this 5-year project are to investigate the functional connectivity patterns of reward regions in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and...
This $1,871,692 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to develop and evaluate an assistive wearable technology (smartwatch application) to improve employment outcomes for neurodiverse workers, such as those with autism spectrum disorders or attention deficit hyperactive disorder. The research will involve controlled experiments and a workplace field study to assess how the wearable technology can enhance...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) project grant, under CFDA 47.041, is awarded for $200,000 to the University of the Pacific to develop a novel wearable sensing and analysis system for early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young children and toddlers. The research aims to leverage non-invasive wearable devices to collect physiological and environmental data, and then use machine learning to identify physiological biomarkers and early...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
