The award was granted to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc., a subsidiary of the larger Partners Healthcare System (now Mass General Brigham), to conduct research on the role of ambient lighting in circadian misalignment and its...
- The federal Project Grant titled "NEUROENDOCRINE COMPUTATIONS UNDERLYING AN ENDURING BEHAVIORAL STATE" was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The $571,485 award, with a performance period from August 2025 to June 2030, will support research by The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to investigate the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $504,705 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant, titled "Examining Estrogenic Regulation of Orexin Neurons to Reveal Subpopulations," aims to study the critical regulatory role of orexin neurons in the hypothalamus, which are involved in sleep, energy balance, stress, motivation, and reward...
- This $162,486 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support a study titled "SLEEP AS A MECHANISM OF PREMENSTRUAL EXACERBATION OF DEPRESSION AND SUICIDALITY". The study aims to utilize high-resolution digital sleep data in a clinical trial to identify periods of acute suicide risk and potential sleep-related treatment targets, while also examining the impact of the menstrual cycle on...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $2,050,000.00 and funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training, supports research to decipher the sexually dimorphic neural substrates governing aggression in female Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). The research aims to elucidate the neural mechanisms encoding sex-specific primal behaviors, investigate the modulatory effects of stress and peptides on female aggression,...
- This $880,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a study to examine the effects of daily stress, sleep, and sex hormones on accelerated vascular aging in premenopausal midlife women. The 2-year study, starting November 2024, will investigate how emotional reactivity to daily stressors and sleep variability contribute to vascular dysfunction prior to menopause, and how these factors interact with changes in estradiol levels. The...
- This $162,512 Project Grant award from the 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 to examine how the circadian clock influences reproductive behavior and sexual drive in mice. The project, conducted by the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) in Boston, MA, aims to determine if the timing of peak sexual behavior between males and females impacts...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $755,257.00, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The award aims to study the role of GPI-anchor biosynthesis in regulating sleep, with the goal of improving understanding of the genetic factors underlying sleep disorders such as insomnia. The research will be conducted by Texas A&M University and will involve a multi-pronged approach, including...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) is providing $628,753 to SRI International to conduct research on the thermoregulatory physiology of menopausal hot flashes. The goal is to determine if precisely timed and targeted localized peripheral cooling can mitigate menopausal hot flashes. The research will combine a novel hot flash detection algorithm developed by SRI with a novel cooling approach to help alleviate this...
This Project Grant award of $432,250.00 was issued on September 15, 2025 by the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The award was provided to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) in Massachusetts to conduct research on the role of orexin neuropeptides in regulating sleep disturbances, anxiety, and hot flashes experienced by women during the menopausal transition. The project aims to identify the neuronal mechanisms linking low estradiol levels to disruptions in the orexin system, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches for managing menopausal symptoms with potentially fewer side effects than long-term hormone replacement therapy. The award has an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2029.
