Pennsylvania State University's Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center received a $170,851 Project Grant award effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The project will develop and deliver an evidence-based, transdiagnostic sleep and circadian intervention adapted specifically for autistic adults aged 18-65 years. This involves iteratively adapting the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TRANS-C) through pilot testing with 15-24 autistic participants and incorporating feedback from an advisory panel comprising autistic adults, caregivers, medical providers, and behavioral health clinicians. The award supports the delivery of a comprehensive research program that includes conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial with 90 autistic adult participants to evaluate the efficacy, feasibility, acceptability, engagement, and fidelity of the adapted intervention compared to the traditional TRANS-C protocol and a wait-list control group. Assessments will measure multidimensional sleep health outcomes using actigraphy and self-report measures, as well as social, emotional, and cognitive functioning at pretreatment, posttreatment, and three-month follow-up intervals. The project addresses the critical clinical need for evidence-based sleep interventions for autistic adults experiencing multiple concurrent sleep and circadian problems that contribute to mental health comorbidities.Federal Grant Award Summary
