The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded $221,400 in funding on May 15, 2026, through the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to support a K08 Mentored Research Career Development Award at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This award funds a structured training and research program designed to advance an early-career physician-scientist's expertise in cellular and circuit neuroscience mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically examining striatal interneuron dysfunction in autism spectrum disorder within the context of Dravet syndrome. The project delivers a comprehensive research and professional development program spanning approximately five years (award completion date: March 31, 2031). Key deliverables include original research utilizing animal models, in vivo two-photon imaging integrated with behavioral analysis, advanced genetic techniques, and machine learning-based behavioral analysis, supported by mentorship from established neuroscience investigators at CHOP and the University of Pennsylvania. The award positions the awardee to transition from early-career status to independent investigator capability, with the ultimate goal of establishing an NIH R01-funded research program addressing the mechanistic basis of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders at the intersection of neurogenetics, autism, and epilepsy research.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
