This federal Project Grant award of $809,312, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to characterize circadian function and identify circadian dysfunction among children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The primary objectives are to: 1) Assess individual differences in circadian function and sleep profiles using laboratory-based dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) assessment and wearable sensors; 2) Examine associations between circadian dysfunction, ADHD clinical presentation, and cognition; and 3) Evaluate the utility of wearable sensors for identifying circadian dysfunction in ADHD youth. The award will support a collaboration between Duke University and RTI International, with RTI assisting with wearable sensor deployment, data analysis, and dissemination activities. If successful, this study may transform clinical practice by facilitating objective sleep assessments and enabling personalized treatments for ADHD.
