Project Grant K23MH144454
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Pittsburgh $190,185 on July 24, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242, K23 award mechanism) to conduct a longitudinal study examining behavioral and neural markers of compulsivity associated with nonsuicidal self-injury in autistic adults. The research integrates self-report, clinical interviews, functional MRI, and longitudinal data collection to characterize the relationship between...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Oregon $159,560 on January 1, 2027, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a study examining the bidirectional dynamics of daily behavior and mood associated with adolescent non-suicidal self-injury using passive mobile sensing. The research leverages passive smartphone data collection, including GPS technology and the Effortless Assessment of Risk States (EARS) platform, to observe associations...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Wisconsin–Madison $1.644 million on June 5, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a mechanistic analysis of the transition from nonsuicidal to suicidal self-injury in adolescents. The research project will employ a multi-method longitudinal approach to follow adolescents aged 13–17 over a two-year period through February 28, 2031. The study aims to identify which factors predict...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the Research Institute At Nationwide Children's Hospital $169,416 on July 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a retrospective cohort study examining suicidal thoughts and behaviors among youth victims of human trafficking. The study will identify individual, familial, community, and clinical characteristics—including mental health history, physical health conditions, and health service utilization...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The McLean Hospital Corporation $193,320 on February 18, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242, Assistance Listing) to support a K23 mentored career development award focused on online social networking mechanisms of suicide in adolescents. The award funds research establishing objective, ecologically valid assessment of interpersonal behavior in adolescents with suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBS) through analysis...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Pittsburgh $378,984 on March 13, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to test an integrative neurobiological model linking peripheral inflammatory markers to dysfunction in reward-related corticostriatal circuitry and adolescent suicidal ideation. The project, designated K23MH138759, will enroll 90 adolescents with unipolar depressive disorders enriched with those with a history of suicidal...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center $802,494 on May 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a longitudinal study of cognitive disengagement syndrome as a transdiagnostic predictor of psychopathology across adolescence. The funded research extends an ongoing longitudinal study tracking 341 community-recruited adolescents (ages 10–12 years at baseline, enriched for cognitive disengagement syndrome...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Pittsburgh $381,463 on September 19, 2025, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate neurocognitive responses to social threat and their links to social connectedness and suicidality in adolescent girls. The research employs multivariate electroencephalogram (EEG) decoding to assess neural representation of social threat information in working memory, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $402,289 on August 14, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to identify and understand suicide risk among young children using electronic health records from pediatric emergency departments. The recipient will analyze approximately 7,000 electronic health records from 8- to 12-year-old patients across five pediatric emergency departments within the...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded $1.579 million to the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc., operating as the New York State Psychiatric Institute, on July 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to fund basic neuroscience research into the circuit mechanisms by which early-life adversity produces sustained reward deficits. The research examines how childhood trauma—including abuse, neglect, and chronic stress—alters neural circuits governing...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded $186,839 to the Research Institute At Nationwide Children's Hospital on August 15, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) for a K23 career development grant supporting research into the static and dynamic neurocircuitry associated with fluctuations in non-suicidal self-injury. The award funds a longitudinal training study that will examine temporal variability in non-suicidal self-injury urges and behaviors by integrating ecological momentary assessment with neuroimaging methods. The research aims to determine whether proximal non-suicidal self-injury frequency and urges measured through ecological momentary assessment correlate over time with resting-state functional connectivity between the amygdala and regions associated with motor planning, and whether brain activation during rumination induction remains independent of non-suicidal self-injury changes. The grant funds development of the candidate as an independent investigator through three training aims: execution of longitudinal studies, collection and analysis of ecological momentary assessment data, and integration of ecological momentary assessment with neuroimaging data. The award period runs from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2031. Work is performed in Columbus, Ohio.
