The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $504,283 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) to examine the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children born preterm. The goal is to determine if the etiology of ASD differs between preterm and term-born children and across gestational ages, identify risk factors, and estimate the public health consequences. The project will create a prospective cohort of all children born in Sweden and Finland from 1996-2020, and replicate analyses in a sample from California. It will also test if the genetic architecture of ASD differs between preterm and term-born children. The award period is from September 10, 2024 to August 31, 2029.
