This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, supports a comprehensive research study to characterize core computations of value, uncertainty, and prediction error across learning, decision-making, and memory processes, both behaviorally and neurally. The $1,932,991.00 award will fund a behavioral study of 1,000 participants (Aim 1) and a functional MRI study of 100 participants (Aim 2) to examine these...
This $545,778 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the use of reward processing to enhance exposure therapy for individuals with social anxiety disorder. Specifically, the project aims to determine if a behavioral treatment designed to improve reward processing can lead to better outcomes during...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $211,248 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the neural mechanisms governing fear and anxiety responses within the hippocampal-amygdala circuit in humans. The key products and services to be delivered include: Elucidating how the acquisition, extinction, and renewal of fear and anxiety responses...
This $1,370,120 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund a research study on emotional arousal and its neurobehavioral associations during development. The key objectives are to: 1) Establish the validity and reliability of a standardized arousal measurement tool for use across ages 2-25 years; 2) Assess how arousal patterns track with psychopathology symptoms like anxiety, depression, and...
This Project Grant award of $618,863 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the neural dynamics of fear circuits in rodent models of risk and trauma. The key objectives are to: Test the hypothesis that the amygdala functions as a central relay, processing threat information from the midbrain and transmitting fear signals to corticolimbic structures to guide risky decision-making. This will...
This $388,026 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a study to identify "social computational phenotypes" (SCPs) that correspond to transdiagnostic mental health spectra. The research, conducted by Adelphi University, will use large-scale data-driven approaches combining behavioral, computational, psychological assessment, and neuroimaging (fMRI) methods in healthy adults. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $392,500.00 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct research on the developmental programming of the human hypothalamus and its role in motivated behaviors. The research project, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, aims to investigate the impact of early life adversity on the structure and function of the developing...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants provides $176,979 to conduct research on personalized neuromodulation techniques to address dysregulated motivational responses and social avoidance behavior in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) or social anxiety disorder (SAD). The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Characterizing the effects of personalized...
This $3,225,980 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a comprehensive research program on latent cause inference as a fundamental cognitive process underlying mental health conditions. The award to The Trustees of Princeton University will fund four interconnected research projects over a 5-year period from August 2024 to July 2029. The research program aims to quantify individual...
This $2,232,778 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study dopaminergic gut-brain signaling on adolescent reward learning after adversity. The goal is to develop new, non-invasive treatments for depression and anxiety in adolescents, with a focus on understanding the underlying neurobiology and leveraging this...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $191,700 to Northwestern University to conduct research on ambiguity aversion as a potential transdiagnostic mechanism underlying internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression.

The key objectives of the 5-year research project are to: 1) use computational modeling to examine behavioral markers of ambiguity aversion, 2) investigate the neural correlates of ambiguity aversion using electrophysiological methods, and 3) test whether a brief behavioral intervention can modify ambiguity aversion. This research aims to advance the understanding of ambiguity intolerance as a transdiagnostic factor contributing to internalizing psychopathology, which could inform the development of novel intervention strategies. The project started on January 17, 2025 and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2029.
