The University of Southern California has been awarded $884,290 under a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (CFDA 47.075, Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) effective October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031. This five-year project delivers longitudinal neuroscience research investigating attention bias and emotional information processing in infants during critical early developmental periods. The research employs novel electroencephalography (EEG) measures to characterize how infants develop attention to emotionally salient stimuli, such as facial expressions, and examines the relationship between these attention patterns and early risk factors for anxiety disorders, including infant temperament and maternal anxiety. The project integrates multiple assessment methodologies combining infant brain activity measurements, behavioral observations, parental reports on maternal mental health and infant socioemotional development, and ecological momentary assessment protocols to capture real-time maternal emotional experiences in daily life. Broader impacts of this award include expansion of neuroscience training opportunities and development of science-based parenting resources created in partnership with research participants to promote public science literacy and improve early identification of mental health risks in infants. The research outputs are designed to advance understanding of early attention processes and their contribution to anxiety disorders, with potential applications in prevention and early intervention strategies.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
