This $226,877 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is supporting the development of a microphysiological model of the neurovascular unit capable of demonstrating neurovascular coupling. The key goals are to: 1) characterize the ability of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells to vasoconstrict and vasodilate in response to vasoactive agents, 2) produce a population of induced pluripotent stem...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will advance functional MRI (fMRI) techniques to study cerebral cortical layers in the human brain. The $156,656 award, effective March 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will support research to validate and apply a novel "linescan fMRI" method that can achieve higher spatial resolution than conventional laminar fMRI. The awardee, The...
The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $196,120 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct research on "Preventing Homelessness in Transitioning Service Members with Mental Illness." The project, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, aims to develop and evaluate innovative approaches to support transitioning...
This $908,174 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to improve understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying schizophrenia. The primary objectives are to: 1) Replicate and expand on prior findings regarding associations between electrophysiological variables in patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models and clinical/cognitive phenotypes of...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $836,344 to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct research on the relationship between neurovascular dysfunction and disease progression in early-course psychosis.

The key objectives are to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neuroprogression in early-course psychosis, and to develop reliable biomarkers that can be leveraged for novel therapeutics. The research leverages patient-derived stem cell models to investigate how intrinsic deficits in brain microvascular endothelial cells correlate with clinical trajectories of symptom, cognitive, and functional decline. This integrated translational research framework aims to mechanistically link neurovascular dysfunction to neuroprogression in early psychosis. The award period runs from May 1, 2025 through Feb 28, 2030.
