This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $692,043 to support research on the role of presynaptic homeostatic plasticity in mental health disorders like autism and intellectual disability. The research aims to establish a mechanistic framework for how homeostatic regulation of neurotransmitter release and excitation/inhibition balance may relate to the genetic underpinnings of these mental...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $911,929 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) to the Scripps Research Institute to conduct research on the genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder and neurodevelopmental delay. The project, titled "Scalable Functional Analysis of Neuropsychiatric Risk Genes with Spatially Integrated In Vivo Perturb-Seq," aims to use advanced in vivo genetic screening and whole-brain imaging techniques to investigate how...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research into the neural substrates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The $367,708 award to the University of Southern California will use cutting-edge neuroimaging and advanced statistical modeling to investigate functional connectivity patterns in the brain's reward circuitry and how they...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was awarded a $165,796 Project Grant by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant, titled "Functional Genomic Interrogation of Autism Spectrum Disorder Genetic Risk on Microglia-Neuronal Interactions", will support research to assess the impact of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genetic risk on microglial function and neuronal-microglial interactions using human...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $1,505,818 to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science to investigate the role of the neurexin protein in social adaptation and amygdala plasticity. The research aims to determine how disruption of the neurexin 1 gene impacts synaptic plasticity within the prefrontal cortex-amygdala circuit, which is critical for flexible social...
This $1,955,574 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) will fund research by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the physiological roles of type I interferon-responsive microglia in brain development. The research aims to examine how these specialized immune cells in the brain regulate neural circuit maturation by engulfing specific neurons, and how disruptions to this process may...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants provides $844,917 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to identify and characterize moderate effect size risk genes for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The key objectives are to: (1) identify and analyze moderate effect size risk genes using rare and common genetic variations; (2) investigate sex- and genetic ancestry-specific risk factors on the X...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to elucidate the role of the neuronal Brahma Associated Factor (nBAF) chromatin remodeling complex in regulating experience-induced neuronal gene transcription and synapse maturation, with implications for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The $237,750 grant awarded to the University of California, Merced will support research to determine if the nBAF...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research to characterize a genetic mouse model and delineate its function in the brain. The $742,484 award, effective January 13, 2025 through October 31, 2029, will be used to obtain multi-omic single nucleus sequencing data, analyze chromatin state, examine brain morphology and neuronal function, and conduct a broad behavioral profile....
This Project Grant award of $743,995 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to dissect the role of calcium channel dysfunction in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The University of Maryland, Baltimore is the primary awardee and will utilize a combination of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons and transgenic mice to evaluate the impact...
