Project Grant K01MH137401
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to develop an integrated, portable sensor suite for concurrent recording of neural activity, physiological arousal, motor signals, and physical interactions in social environments. The $1,453,943 award will fund research to integrate neural oscillatory features of visual attention with additional sensors to extract physiological and movement-derived...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $837,131 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Yale University to improve the inclusion of individuals with intellectual disability in autism neuroscience research. The 5-year project, starting on February 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2029, aims to apply innovative technological and clinical approaches to collect neuroscience data from 70 children with autism and intellectual disability, as...
- This $461,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research by Yale University to characterize the dynamic neural indices of sound sensitivity in autism. The project aims to investigate how the neural circuit that adjusts auditory perception and arousal differs in individuals with autism compared to those without, in order to better understand the mechanisms underlying auditory sensory...
- This federal Project Grant award of $196,460 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is supporting research to elucidate the neural substrates underlying novelty-related social investigation behaviors in mice. The research aims to leverage in vivo recording techniques, projection-specific optogenetic stimulation, and computational approaches to determine how social recognition information encoded in the ventral...
- This federal Project Grant award of $417,200.00, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research to characterize and manipulate large-scale brain activity patterns associated with attention, focus, and psychiatric/neurological disorders. The project aims to 1) determine whether patterns of quasi-periodic brain activity observed in functional MRI data reflect underlying neural activity patterns...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program, will support a $831,412 investigation into the role of value learning in core features of autism in toddlers at Yale University. The project will examine value learning, or the process by which neutral stimuli gain attentional salience, in 18- to 30-month-old toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), typical development (TD), and developmental delays...
- This $778,398 National Institute of Mental Health project grant will fund research at the University of California, San Diego to test the accuracy of eye tracking as an early screening tool for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the general pediatric population. The research aims to screen approximately 8,000 toddlers ages 12-24 months attending well-baby checkups over the five-year period from May 2023 to March 2028. Researchers will use eye tracking technology to measure social attention...
- The federal Project Grant award of $127,557 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a research project titled "Brain Aging in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder". The goal is to characterize age-related changes in neuroimmune profiles, immune cell phenotypes, and neuronal inflammation in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to unaffected controls using postmortem human brain tissue....
- This Project Grant award of $208,888.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) supports research to develop computer vision techniques for identifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) motor deficits in infants. The Washington University project aims to leverage deep learning and computational ethology to automatically extract and analyze kinematic data from video assessments of infant behavior, with the goal of creating objective, scalable...
- 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 support a longitudinal study investigating the relationship between early parent-infant synchrony and later developmental outcomes in children at genetic risk for ADHD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study will leverage three prospective cohorts of infants (total N=320) to examine how synchronous interactions between...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding a 5-year, $175,017 study titled "Investigating Neural Predictors of Real-World Social Attention in Autism During Naturalistic Social Interactions." The project, led by researchers at the University of Houston System, aims to develop innovative, ecologically valid measures of visual attention and its neural mechanisms in autistic children during real-world social interactions, using ambulatory eye-tracking technology. This research seeks to improve upon traditional computer-based assays and provide a more accurate understanding of social attention differences between autistic and neurotypical individuals. The findings could help elucidate the neural underpinnings of social attention challenges in autism and inform the development of novel interventions.
