The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $787,584 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to study the trajectories of functional brain network organization from birth to early adulthood as predictors of executive function and psychopathology. The 5-year research project, beginning December 1, 2024, will leverage UNC-CH's unique longitudinal Early Brain Development Study cohort to characterize neural and behavioral trajectories of executive function, establish how neural trajectories relate to functional brain organization during executive function tasks in emerging adulthood, and determine how and when executive function-related neural trajectories diverge across psychopathology and environmental risk levels. The goal is to provide foundational knowledge that can enable early identification and targeted intervention for youth at risk of future psychopathology.
