This federal Project Grant award of $418,178 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to provide mechanistic insights into the neurobiological mechanisms by which maternal sensitivity is compromised by postpartum depression. Specifically, the University of Massachusetts (UMass), through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, will use intersectional viral...
This Project Grant award of $296,920 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 fund research into the neuronal mechanisms underlying intellectual disability and epilepsy in mouse models of CASK-related disorders. The central hypothesis is that dysfunction of the CASK protein in inhibitory neurons causes both cognitive deficits and epilepsy due to impaired synaptic...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,034,229 to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to conduct research on the neural circuits and mechanisms underlying infant-directed behavior in both males and females. The key objectives of this 5-year grant are to: 1) determine how circuit activity in molecularly defined neuronal...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program, provides $534,899 to Baylor College of Medicine to study the role of vitamin B12-dependent metabolic pathways in neural crest development. The award aims to define the syndrome of combined methylmalonic acidemia and homocystinuria, cblC-type (cblC) as a neurocristopathy impacting...
This Project Grant award of $453,382, provided by 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 map the developmental trajectory of the oxytocin receptor system and offspring neurobehavior after induced birth with oxytocin. The primary objectives are to: 1) Comprehensively visualize the developing oxytocin receptor-oxytocin system in the postnatal mouse brain...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $463,360 Project Grant (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) to Weill Medical College of Cornell University for a project titled "Maternal Milk Cytokines Activate Cognate Receptors in the Neonatal Esophagus to Program Adult Social Behavior." The research aims to determine how maternal milk cytokines interact with receptors in the neonatal esophagus to influence brain...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under CFDA Program 93.310 - Trans-NIH Research Support provides funding of $1,340,637 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the development of social behaviors in mammalian infants. The project aims to genetically identify sensory neurons that attach positive valence to maternal olfactory cues, and use spatial transcriptomics to map...

The research aims to test biological and behavioral mechanisms underlying parent-child interactions in mothers and fathers, using...
This federal Project Grant award for $131,085 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to define the experience-driven neural mechanisms that enhance behavioral performance in male mating in mice. The project will delineate the afferent inputs onto preoptic hypothalamus neurons expressing tachykinin receptor 1, which regulate male mating. It will...

This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver 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 into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying maternal behavior in mice. The $1,572,111 award to Baylor College of Medicine aims to elucidate the role of the TRPC5 ion channel in regulating maternal behaviors, such as pup retrieval and nursing, and to assess whether TRPC5 activators can improve impaired maternal behavior induced by psychological stress. The research will utilize genetically engineered mouse models and neuroscience techniques to investigate the links between TRPC5, oxytocin neurons, and dopamine neurons in the regulation of maternal care. This work builds on the researchers' prior identification of TRPC5 gene mutations associated with impaired maternal bonding in humans, providing a translational approach to understanding the molecular basis of normal and disrupted maternal behavior. The award has a performance period from September 2024 through June 2029.
