- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $792,006 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct a longitudinal study on the role of social adversity, trauma, and protective factors in suicidality among autistic adults. The 5-year project, starting on September 1, 2025, aims to enroll 250 autistic adults (ages 18-40) to investigate the relationship between adverse experiences and suicidal...
- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) federal grant program. The $3,633,977 award will fund a longitudinal study to understand the bi-directional relationship between adolescent social media use and mental health and well-being. The primary awardee, the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, a woman-owned non-profit organization, will recruit and survey 2,000 13-16 year-olds in the U.S....
- The federal Project Grant awarded to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, valued at $5,393,812, supports a longitudinal study investigating the impact of changes in social determinants of health (SDOH) on the mental health of adolescents and young adults (AYA) in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is funded through the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) administered by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The study...
- The federal Project Grant award of $1,659,568.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund a study titled "EARLY-PHASE PSYCHOSIS: PRACTICE-BASED RESEARCH TO IMPROVE TREATMENT OUTCOMES". The study aims to enroll 625 additional participants across 13 clinics in 6 states to expand on the existing ESPRITO EPINET project, which has already enrolled 963 participants. The funding will support continuing the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $120,000.00, provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Maternal and Child Health Bureau under the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CFDA 93.877) program, will support a collaborative research project between an early-stage and a senior investigator. The goal of the study is to examine the development of challenging and adaptive social behaviors from early childhood through adolescence among children with...
- This Project Grant award of $208,888.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) supports research to develop computer vision techniques for identifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) motor deficits in infants. The Washington University project aims to leverage deep learning and computational ethology to automatically extract and analyze kinematic data from video assessments of infant behavior, with the goal of creating objective, scalable...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $857,216 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to study the neurodevelopmental trajectories leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behaviors in socioeconomically disadvantaged, racially and ethnically diverse children. The key objectives of this project are to: 1)...
- This Cooperative Agreement award for $7,013,600 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program aims to develop reliable methods for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes, such as autism and ADHD, in children exposed to maternal infections during pregnancy. The study will leverage electronic health records data from over 150,000 maternal-offspring dyads across two health systems to characterize maternal infections, pregnancy...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate longitudinal trajectories and social mechanisms of depression in adolescent girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The $509,310.95 award supports a research project conducted by the University of Texas at Austin from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028. The project consists of three complementary studies: (1) mapping depression...
This federal Project Grant award of $817,597 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports a multimethod research study to identify social determinants of health (SDOH) factors within electronic health records (EHRs) and build machine learning models to predict the risk of persistent adverse mental health outcomes for autistic children and youth. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) using natural language processing to extract individual-level SDOH factors from clinical notes within the EHR data from Children's Hospital Los Angeles and University of Florida Health System; 2) developing machine learning risk prediction models to assess the additive effect of SDOH in forecasting persistent adverse mental health outcomes for autistic patients; and 3) gathering clinician perspectives on utilizing SDOH within EHRs and obtaining feedback on the prediction model to create action steps for improved clinical care. The project will engage a community advisory board of autistic adults and caregivers throughout the study. This research aims to enable more targeted prevention efforts and enhance clinician and health system responses to SDOH-related needs for this population.
