This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will provide $123,579 to Northeastern University to conduct a mixed-methods study on the interplay of social and physical environments, loneliness, and cognition among older adults living with HIV. The 5-year project aims to: 1) determine the longitudinal patterns of loneliness and cognition, 2) identify social and physical environment factors related to loneliness and...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Emory University a Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program to develop advanced prediction models that integrate social factors, specifically loneliness and social isolation, through longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) phenotyping. The $247,894 award, with a project period from November 2024 to October 2026, aims to: 1) develop and validate a tool to identify linguistic markers of loneliness and...
This $4.385 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will fund research into digital detection of social isolation and loneliness markers of risk for Alzheimer's disease. The University of California, San Diego will collect data from 128 cognitively normal older adults divided into high- and low-risk groups based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and subtle cognitive decline markers. Researchers will administer in-lab standard measures as well as...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $459,641 supports research examining the relationship between loneliness and fear learning processes. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the University of California, Los Angeles will conduct a series of studies from June 2022 to May 2026. The studies aim to determine if loneliness augments fear learning in humans, leading to more persistent fears. Additionally, the research will examine whether...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $184,540 to the University of Southern California to conduct research aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness among individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). The key objectives are to: 1) identify environmental features associated with activity engagement and social interaction, 2) examine associations between engagement,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $158,286 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to investigate the neurocomputational mechanisms underlying the influence of social interaction on mood. The research objectives are to leverage computational modeling (Aim 1) and human single-unit recording (Aim 2) to elucidate how norm prediction errors, which act as learning signals to help...
This $182,324 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will fund the development of tools to quantify and analyze temporal patterns of multimodal communication behavior between individuals in face-to-face and virtual dyadic conversations. The key activities include convening a multidisciplinary expert team to discuss ethics, paradigm development, and computational frameworks; building...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding research to determine the neural basis of social information processing. The primary objectives are to investigate how neural ensembles in the dorsal CA2 region of the hippocampus encode social characteristics like familiarity and hierarchy, and how neuromodulatory inputs regulate this neural population coding. The award, totaling $1,657,606,...
This Project Grant award of $1,549,649.37 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports a research project titled "Multimodal Assessment of Social Disconnection as a Proximal Risk for Suicide Ideation in Late Life." The project aims to leverage a multimodal assessment of behavioral and social mechanisms to identify predictors relating social disconnection to suicidal ideation in older adults. Key activities...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $250,200 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct a qualitative research study on the life experiences and perceptions of social connectedness among institutionalized adult women aging with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The research aims to inform interventions to decrease loneliness and social isolation, and improve social...

This Project Grant award of $405,940.00 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to characterize the neural, cognitive, and behavioral mechanisms underlying loneliness. The project, titled "A Hierarchical Examination of the Neural and Computational Mechanisms Underlying Loneliness," will utilize state-of-the-art computational, behavioral, and neural methods to identify computational phenotypes of loneliness across the cognitive hierarchy of social information processing, including perception, learning, inference, and decision-making. The research will be conducted by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a prominent academic medical center and research institution, from September 2024 through July 2029. The findings are expected to inform the development of more personalized interventions to address the growing public health epidemic of social isolation and loneliness in the United States.
