- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Rush University Medical Center $783,899 on July 5, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to examine the impact of early elementary school start times on sleep health, learning, attention, and obesity in young children through second grade. The study enrolls 200 kindergartners—50 night owls and 50 morning larks attending early-start schools (by 8:00 a.m.), and 50 night owls and 50 morning larks attending...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Florida State University $423,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Projects program (CFDA 93.HDR) to develop machine learning models predicting word-reading difficulty in elementary students. The recipient will create twelve new word feature variables and explore their relationships to existing word feature metrics in predicting reading difficulty using the Developmental...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Southern California $110,228 on November 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate longitudinal effects of ADHD medication usage on neurodevelopment in adolescents. The project analyzes three waves of data (ages 9–10, 11–12, and 13–14 years) from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) study cohort of 11,800 participants to identify cortical, subcortical, and white matter...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Florida State University $540,915 on February 25, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to analyze multi-level structural factors influencing maternal and infant health outcomes across U.S. states. The project leverages twenty years of data from the CDC's Pregnancy Risk and Monitoring Study (PRAMS), encompassing 765,809 births across 45 states, to examine relationships...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Pennsylvania State University, operating as Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, $170,851 on June 1, 2026, for a project grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The recipient will engage stakeholders to optimize an evidence-based transdiagnostic sleep and circadian intervention for autistic adults ages 18–65. Aim 1 involves iteratively adapting the Transdiagnostic...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded New York University $466,125 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865) to validate scalable, gaze-based executive function assessment tasks for infants and toddlers ages 6 to 30 months. The research will develop and test two webcam-compatible, eye-tracking paradigms designed to measure inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility in brief...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Michigan State University $680,140 on July 13, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to examine how prenatal stress and early childhood risk and protective factors shape biopsychosocial development in middle childhood. The research leverages a longitudinal cohort of 374 mother-child dyads oversampled for life stress, with data collection beginning at gestation week 15...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of South Carolina $901,635 on July 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct a 10-year follow-up study examining neurobehavioral impacts in adolescence from early life nutrition supplementation in Bangladesh. The study leverages an existing cohort of adolescents from the Rang-Din Nutrition Study (RDNS), a community-based cluster-randomized trial...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Florida State University $624,155 on August 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to investigate the neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms through which delayed high school start times protect youth sleep, academic performance, and mental health, with particular focus on whether youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder experience enhanced benefits. The research employs a two-cohort quasi-experimental design leveraging Florida's state law mandating high school start times no earlier than 8:30 AM beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. The early-start cohort of 9th grade students will be assessed during the 2025-2026 school year at 7:30 AM start times; the delayed-start cohort will be assessed during the 2027-2028 school year at 8:30 AM start times. Each cohort will include 50 percent youth with ADHD. The study will conduct follow-up assessments of 80 percent of each cohort in 10th grade, collecting behavioral data and functional MRI imaging to model neurobiological differences. The research tests hypotheses that the delayed-start cohort will demonstrate better subjective and objective sleep quality and associated improvements in academic and mental health outcomes compared to the early-start cohort, with particular attention to whether benefits are greater for youth with ADHD. Work is performed in Tallahassee, Florida. The award runs through April 30, 2031. This is a Project Grant assistance type.
