This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $255,362 to Temple University to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying reward processing in autistic adolescents. The key objectives are to: 1) isolate differences in neural response to social and non-social rewards between neurotypical and autistic youth, 2) quantify differences in midbrain dopamine system function using...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $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 study the neurodevelopmental trajectories leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behaviors in socioeconomically disadvantaged, racially and ethnically diverse children. The key objectives of this project are to: 1)...
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund a 5-year study to examine the relationship between parent-child neurobehavioral synchrony and early trajectories of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in preschool-aged children. The $673,803 award, starting on December 1, 2024, will support the University of Pittsburgh in using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will provide $3,085,041 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct longitudinal research on adolescent brain maturation and its relationship to psychopathology. The research aims to: Characterize the longitudinal trajectory of neuropil growth/contraction using 3D whole-brain phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS). Elucidate the relationship...
This federal Project Grant award of $826,902 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate the dynamic relationships of physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms with heterogeneity in clinical symptoms and neurobehavioral functioning in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The award will fund a micro-longitudinal study leveraging wearable technology to objectively track daily...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to evaluate cognitive systems and psychopathology in autistic individuals who carry rare genetic variants associated with both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). The $388,800 award will fund a study to remotely assess cognition and psychopathology in 400 ASD participants (200 with ASD+SCZ variants, 200 without) at two...
This federal Project Grant award of $794,931 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund a longitudinal study on the relationship between early parent-infant synchrony and later childhood outcomes among infants at genetic risk for ADHD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study will leverage 3 existing cohorts of 326 infants previously enrolled in the PI's prior NIMH-funded studies, who will be followed from 6...
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 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund a $196,597 research project to investigate the information processing changes underlying a high-risk autism spectrum disorder (ASD) gene in rats. The project aims to determine the changes to the hippocampus and its communication with other brain regions in the context of this ASD gene, using advanced techniques such as automated...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $367,708 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the functional connectivity patterns of reward regions in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) use machine learning and statistical approaches to examine reward functional connectivity in ASD and ADHD, 2) assess how factors like sex, puberty, and medication impact reward connectivity in these conditions, and 3) create normative reference curves of reward connectivity and examine deviations in ASD and ADHD. This research aims to improve understanding of the shared and distinct neural mechanisms underlying ASD and ADHD, which can inform the development of novel biologically-grounded treatments. The project will also provide the principal investigator significant training in advanced analytical methods under the mentorship of experts in the field.
