This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $711,361 to Loyola University of Chicago's Health Sciences Campus to investigate sex differences in the mitigation of stress-induced cognitive deficits through RNA editing. The research aims to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which prenatal stress triggers disruptions in glutamatergic signaling within the hippocampus and...
This federal Project Grant award, with ID R01MH138343, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The $715,662 award supports a research project investigating the epigenetic mechanisms underlying stress vulnerability and the pathogenic links between stress and increased susceptibility to psychiatric conditions. The project aims to employ genetic, genomic, molecular, and behavioral approaches to study how chronic...
The federal Project Grant award R56MH137986, titled "NEUROCIRCUITRY OF MOTIVATED REWARD-SEEKING AFTER STRESS", was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The $606,029 award supports research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate how the medial habenulo-interpeduncular nucleus (MHB-IPN) brain circuitry mediates the relationship between stress, motivation, and reward-seeking...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund a study to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional responses to acute psychological stress. The $176,180 award, spanning 5 years from August 2024 to July 2029, will be administered by the University of Pittsburgh. The study will use non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, such as continuous theta burst...
This $197,235 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a four-year research career development program focused on understanding the circuit physiology of cognitive flexibility. The award recipient, an MD/PhD candidate, will conduct studies investigating the role of acetylcholine signaling from the basal forebrain to the basolateral amygdala and lateral orbitofrontal cortex in regulating...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $107,948 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research on the effects of concurrent chronic stress and cocaine self-administration on medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) microglia and drug choice behavior. The award period runs from December 3, 2024 to April 30, 2028. The research aims to improve understanding of the neurobiological...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $457,983 in funding to Rowan University to conduct research examining the role of the inflammatory factor TLR1 in resilience to chronic stress. The project aims to (1) determine if voluntary exercise protects against chronic stress-induced upregulation of hippocampal TLR1, (2) identify downstream inflammatory factors and microRNA regulators of TLR1...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund a $1,648,532 research study to characterize multi-system stress response mechanisms and their contributions to anhedonia (reduced ability to experience pleasure) in adolescents aged 13-15 years. The research will use functional MRI, physiological assessments of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system (ANS), and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), funds research to investigate the mechanism by which the neuropeptide orexin contributes to sex differences in cognitive flexibility following stress. The $344,589 award to Bryn Mawr College will support a 3-year research project that aims to: 1) Use a newly developed orexin sensor and fiber photometry to examine real-time orexin binding in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research at Brown University to investigate the neurocomputational mechanisms by which serotonin, sustained stress, and mental effort allocation interact. The 2-year, $114,899 award will enable the principal investigator to leverage computational modeling, psychopharmacology, and fMRI techniques to: Identify sub-processes reflecting the...

This federal Project Grant award of $719,917 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which chronic stress induces deficits in cognitive flexibility. The award to the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (MCW) will fund a 5-year study examining how chronic stress leads to changes in the prefrontal cortex, specifically in neurons expressing the protein REDD1, and how this impacts behavioral flexibility. The research team will use mouse models and assess cognitive flexibility through strategy shifting tasks, as well as measure synaptic regulation and dendritic spine structure in prelimbic cortex neurons. A sub-award of an unspecified amount was made to Marquette University to support aspects of this research. The findings have implications for understanding and treating stress-related mental health conditions that involve deficits in cognitive flexibility.
