- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants), supports the development of an adaptive intervention to improve access, engagement, and effectiveness of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment in routine care settings. The $939,784 award to Boston Medical Center Corporation aims to sequence a digital behavioral health intervention and brief trauma- and skills-focused treatments for PTSD. The selected treatments are...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project led by Emory University to develop an interactive artificial intelligence (AI) teammate system for upskilling mental health workers. The $548,297 award aims to understand how AI can be effectively and ethically integrated into mental health work to address the shortage of skilled workers and improve access to research-supported treatment protocols. The...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $499,887 project grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Docbotic Inc. in Naperville, IL. The grant funds the development of BETTERBOT, an SMS chatbot that integrates artificial intelligence and large language models to deliver evidence-based behavioral activation therapy tailored to individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The project aims to address barriers to mental health care for TBI patients,...
- The Defense Health Agency awarded a $2,519,334 Project Grant to The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to develop and conduct a clinical trial of an AI-facilitated, web-based written exposure therapy training program to increase the reach of evidence-based PTSD treatment. The project falls under the Military Medical Research and Development federal grant program (CFDA 12.420), which supports biomedical research to transform healthcare for military service members,...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to establish reliable markers of prefrontal excitability that can be used to optimize repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment for depression. The $784,096 award, with a project period from May 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, will allow researchers at The Leland Stanford Junior University to: 1) investigate how...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to develop an interactive artificial intelligence (AI) system called the Trustworthy, Explainable, and Adaptive Monitoring Machine for AI Teams (TEAMMAIT). This system aims to help address the national shortage of mental health workers skilled in research-supported treatment protocols. The project will investigate...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $2,406,884 Project Grant to The Leland Stanford Junior University to establish the Center for Responsible and Effective AI Technology Enhancement of Treatments for PTSD (CREATE). The funding, provided under the NIMH's Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support the development and evaluation of large language model-based tools to address the insufficient capacity for evidence-based psychotherapy implementation and improve the delivery of treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The 5-year project aims to create AI-powered solutions that can activate key mechanisms of change and provide scalable, just-in-time support to administrators, therapists, and patients in public and rural mental health settings facing resource constraints. The project leverages Stanford University's expertise in clinical psychology, implementation science, computer science, ethics, and biostatistics to ensure the safe, private, engaging, and effective deployment of these AI-enhanced PTSD treatments.
