This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the federal Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support a comprehensive study to chart trajectories of positive valence system function in young children of mothers with depression. The $801,869 award will fund a longitudinal, multimodal assessment of reward responsiveness in a sample of 450 children ages 4-8, recruited from two sites. The study aims to examine the effects of maternal...
This Project Grant award of $176,638 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund research to investigate how unpredictability in early parent behavior influences the development of emotion regulation and brain function in children, and how these factors may increase risk for psychopathology. The study will leverage an ongoing longitudinal dataset to examine the relationship between unpredictability in parents'...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $165,980 to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) at Binghamton University. The award supports a study examining neural indices of social and monetary reward processing as predictors of real-world pleasure and affect in adolescents at risk for depression. The study aims to determine whether...
This Project Grant award for $1,364,085.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to study the mechanisms of neural plasticity and response to interventions in neonates. The award aims to characterize how spontaneous brain activity in neonates relates to brain network maturity and responsiveness to interventions, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. The research is being conducted at...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $2,285,036 to Northwestern University to conduct a 5-year study on the impact of parental income supplements on child mental health and neuroimmune function. The study will leverage an existing randomized controlled trial where 1,200 lower-income families with children aged 5-14 are randomly assigned to receive either a $1,000/month or $50/month...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $794,931.00 was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant will fund a 5-year research project conducted by the University of California, Davis to investigate the relationship between early parent-infant synchrony and subsequent outcomes in middle childhood for infants at genetic risk for ADHD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The project will leverage three...
This $392,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to examine the developmental origins of mental illness. The primary objectives are to: Develop normative MRI-based measures of hypothalamic structure and connectivity from birth to adulthood using large-scale datasets. Assess the impact of early life adversity on the developing hypothalamus. Elucidate how hypothalamic structure...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $249,000.00 in funding to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the neurobiological, genetic, and environmental factors that contribute to the development of depression in children at high family risk. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying susceptibility versus resilience to mood...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $673,803 to the University of Pittsburgh to study the relationship between parent-child neurobehavioral synchrony and early symptom trajectories of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in preschool-aged children. The 5-year study aims to examine how parent-child focused attention and neural synchrony impact the development of...

This Project Grant award of $790,712, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program, supports research on the impact of maternal positive affect socialization on child neural reward response. The overarching goal is to experimentally test the hypothesis that encouraging positive emotion in children by training mothers leads to increased child neural reward response. The research will utilize event-related potentials (ERPs) to assess in-vivo changes in child reward-related brain function during parent-child interactions, before and after a 3-session positive emotion coaching intervention for mothers with depression symptoms and their 4-6 year old children. A sub-award of unspecified funding was made to The Washington University in St. Louis to support this research.
