Project Grant K23HD119249
- This federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865), is providing $231,552 to investigate the relationship between sleep, motor learning, and motor development in early childhood. The research aims to identify sleep EEG markers that predict motor memory consolidation (Aim 1) and motor development (Aim 2). Specifically, the study...
- This federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), funded under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $668,178 to support a multi-site telehealth trial of a structured, parent-mediated behavioral intervention for insomnia in young autistic children aged 3 to 7 years. The 5-year study, commencing on September 1, 2025, will be conducted by the Cleveland Clinic...
- This Project Grant award for $156,500.00 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to optimize safety toolkits for elopement among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The project will use secondary data from a prior randomized clinical trial to develop subcategories of elopement behaviors and guide modifications to existing safety...
- This federal Project Grant award of $500,500 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports the development of quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) biomarkers for Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS). The research aims to retrospectively analyze overnight EEG data from children with SMS and neurotypical controls to test hypotheses about disruptions in...
- This Project Grant award of $431,750 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to develop algorithms using advanced machine learning models that can predict outbursts in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from July 2025 to June 2027, include: Collecting a novel dataset on the...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), will fund a $154,880 research project conducted by the University of Colorado-Denver. The study aims to determine if a 10-week exercise intervention, compared to a social gaming control condition, can enhance brain function, improve social-cognitive abilities, and reduce inflammation in autistic...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $134,568.00, was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award will support an early career educational neuroscientist, Dr. Suzanne Perkins, in her research to understand the cognitive neural signatures of childhood maltreatment in adolescents. The objectives are to delineate the brain-based mechanisms...
- This Project Grant award of $120,000 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CARES) Act Program (CFDA 93.877) will support a collaborative research project between an early-stage investigator and a senior investigator. The goal is to conduct a longitudinal examination of how challenging and adaptive social behaviors develop from early childhood...
- This federal Project Grant award of $130,210, provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to explore how in-the-moment parental responses to children's negative emotions influence the children's neural and physiological emotion regulation processes. The research will employ electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) measures to...
- This federal Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research examining the associations between neurophysiological discrimination and clinically observable sensory reactivity features in infants at varying likelihood for neurodevelopmental conditions. Over a 2-year period, the $241,032 award will fund the measurement...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $128,367 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the relationship between sensory regulation, sleep, and emotion dysregulation in autistic children. The principal investigator, Dr. Amy Hartman, aims to test a theoretical framework examining the connections between bedtime emotion dysregulation, sleep onset latency, and sensory over-responsivity in 60 autistic children aged 6-10 and their caregivers. The study will use a micro-longitudinal design with in-lab and at-home data collection to explore day-to-day and person-to-person variability on these constructs. Additionally, Dr. Hartman has developed a sensory-based bedtime intervention protocol, the "Power Down," which combines sensory integration and mindfulness theories to target sensory over-responsivity. The award period runs from Aug 15, 2025 to Jul 31, 2030.
