- This federal Project Grant award of $794,931 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support a longitudinal study investigating the relationship between early parent-infant synchrony and later developmental outcomes in children at genetic risk for ADHD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study will leverage three prospective cohorts of infants (total N=320) to examine how synchronous interactions between...
- This federal Project Grant award of $844,917 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to identify and characterize moderate effect size (MES) risk genes that contribute to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) liability and manifestation. The key research objectives are to: (1) identify and characterize MES risk genes using rare and common genetic variation; (2) identify MES risk genes on Chromosome X; (3) identify MES risk...
- The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $1,060,000 project grant under the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CARES) Act Program (CFDA 93.877) to the University of California, Los Angeles.

- This federal Project Grant award of $692,043 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the role of presynaptic homeostatic plasticity in mental health disorders such as autism and intellectual disability. The award recipient, The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will conduct research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying homeostatic plasticity and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Federal Grant Program titled "Mental Health Research Grants" (CFDA 93.242), supports a study to test the clinical effectiveness of the RUBIES (Research Units on Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings) program and an organizational implementation strategy (HELM) for improving outcomes for autistic children in public elementary schools. The $958,076 award will fund a cluster-randomized, hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial across 40 schools, 120 educators, and 120 autistic children. The study aims to evaluate the impact of RUBIES coaching for educators, both with and without the HELM implementation strategy, on externalizing behaviors of autistic children, compared to an educator psychoeducation control condition. The 5-year project, commencing on Sep 18, 2025, will be conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
