This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program, provides $176,180.00 to the University of Pittsburgh to study the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional responses to acute psychological stress. The overarching goal is to test whether suppressing activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) using noninvasive brain stimulation can modulate affective and cardiovascular reactivity to...
This $1,225,424 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under its Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The grant supports a 4-year study investigating peripubertal social motivation as a novel risk factor linking childhood threat exposure and suicidal ideation and behavior in preteen girls. The research aims to refine assessments of social motivation and suicidal thoughts/behaviors,...
This $606,029 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program, supports research to explore the neurocircuitry underlying motivated reward-seeking behaviors as a stress-coping mechanism. The University of Massachusetts Medical School is the prime awardee and will conduct the research activities. The key focus is to investigate how sub-populations of neurons in the medial habenulo-interpeduncular nucleus...

The study will leverage the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study dataset to investigate neurobiological, behavioral, and psychological patterns that differentiate subtypes of children and adolescents...
This $1,611,022 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to study adolescent brain maturation and its relationship to psychopathology. The key research objectives are to: Longitudinally examine neuropil growth/contraction using 3D whole-brain phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) Elucidate alterations in multiple brain network...
This $1,790,632 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund research at the University of Colorado to investigate the neural circuits and neurotransmitters involved in how uncontrollable stress impacts social behavior and fear responses. The key objectives are to determine how stress exposure affects the activity of ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamatergic neurons and their projections to the...
This $249,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program will support a study examining the neurobiological, genetic, and environmental factors underlying susceptibility versus resilience to depression in children at high familial risk. The awardee, The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, will investigate how measures of hippocampal structure and function, as well as polygenic risk...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $715,662 to support research investigating the epigenetic mechanisms underlying stress vulnerability and its link to psychiatric disorders. The 5-year award to the University of Pennsylvania will employ genetic, genomic, molecular, and behavioral approaches to examine how chronic stress exposure impacts the transcription factor YY1 and related...

The study will be conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) over the period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2029. The key...
This $719,917 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health's (NIMH) Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the role of chronic stress and the protein REDD1 in prefrontal cortex dysfunction and impaired cognitive flexibility. The project aims to examine sex-dependent effects of chronic stress on synaptic regulation and activity of specific pyramidal neuron populations in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex, and the contribution of...

This $770,483 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research to characterize how biological acute stress response mechanisms influence the severity and trajectory of anhedonia (reduced ability to experience pleasure) in adolescence.

The study, conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will use a multimodal approach including functional MRI, physiological stress reactivity, and clinical/cognitive assessments to identify multisystem stress response biotypes and explore their contributions to anhedonia in 192 adolescents aged 13-15 years. The research aims to develop a novel framework for understanding the complex biological mechanisms governing stress responsivity during adolescence, a critical developmental period, with the goal of informing targeted interventions for adolescents experiencing anhedonia.
