This R01 Project Grant award of $834,894 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at Yale University examining links between neonatal brain connectivity and later social development outcomes in infants with and without a family history of autism. The project aims to prospectively analyze associations between infant functional brain network characteristics and social attention as well as social engagement skills, utilizing brain imaging, eye-tracking, and observational assessments. This research could help identify early brain-based risk factors and inform interventions to support social development in infancy and early childhood.
