New York University School of Medicine received a $100,228 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), awarded November 1, 2026, with completion targeted for April 5, 2029. The grant supports research investigating cerebellar contributions to Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD) through multimodal neuroimaging techniques, including resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI), diffusion MRI (dMRI), and multi-echo gradient (MGRE) imaging. The primary deliverables include comparative neuroimaging analysis of young adults with early-stage SSD versus healthy controls, identification of cerebellar abnormalities associated with cognitive deficits, and development of biomarkers for early intervention and diagnostic applications. The project directly addresses a critical gap in mental health treatment by examining the cerebellum's role in cognitive dysfunction—a severely debilitating aspect of SSD that remains largely unresponsive to existing interventions. Under the mentorship of Dr. Mariana Lazar, the research fellowship will also provide advanced training in neuroimaging, data analysis, and clinical applications, equipping the researcher to establish an independent investigative career. The findings are intended to establish foundational knowledge supporting future development of targeted treatments and diagnostic tools for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.Federal Grant Award Summary
