This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to advance the understanding of the shared neural foundations and genetic pathways underlying psychiatric disorders. The $702,928 award, granted on January 21, 2025, will enable a 5-year research project at the University of Pennsylvania to: Integrate common and rare genetic variations to understand the co-architecture of psychiatric disorders and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH, CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) provides $588,018 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to investigate the neural basis of how stress impacts sleep architecture and cognition. The key focus is to determine how inputs from stress-regulatory neurons in the locus coeruleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus disrupt specific features of sleep, such as microarousals and REM sleep...
This $176,180 federal 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 the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional responses to acute psychological stress. The funded study will use noninvasive neuromodulation techniques, such as continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), combined with functional neuroimaging, to examine the causal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $2,181,744 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to study how mutations in the NRXN1 gene impact striatal neuromodulatory signals and goal-directed behavior. The research aims to mechanistically investigate how NRXN1 functions within midbrain dopamine neurons...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) totaling $745,822 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania on January 1, 2025. The grant will support research to assess the role of the endoplasmic reticulum kinase PERK in HIV-induced neuroinflammation and neurocognitive impairment (NCI) in people with HIV. The research will use biochemical, cellular, and pharmacologic approaches to evaluate PERK's...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support a research project titled "Mapping the Functional Organization of the Cortex Across Development: The Principal Hierarchy and Transdiagnostic Psychopathology Risk". The $107,948 award, with a period of performance from December 2025 to June 2027, will be conducted by the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing...
This federal Project Grant award of $719,917 was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. The project aims to investigate the impact of chronic stress on cognitive flexibility and its underlying neural mechanisms in the prefrontal cortex. Specifically, the research will examine how chronic stress-induced expression of the protein REDD1 in a subpopulation of pyramidal...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $984,036 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant, titled "PSYCHEMERGE: ADVANCING PRECISION PSYCHIATRY," aims to extend foundational efforts in precision psychiatry by addressing barriers to scalability, utility of genomic data, clinical application, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $3,498,931.00 to Pennsylvania State University and its sub-awardees, Jackson Laboratory and New York University, to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the impact of loss of 100 neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorder (NPD) genes in mice. The project, titled "Cross Scale Interrogation of NPD Genes (SING) in Mice," aims to examine...
This $1,413,000 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 Arizona State University (ASU) to develop a new model for identifying biocomposite clusters of stress-related psychiatric disorders (SRPDs). The key objectives are to: 1) identify epigenetic sites and brain regions most responsive to environmental factors, 2) identify genetic and endophenotype clusters that mediate the...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $715,662 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying stress vulnerability and the links between stress and psychiatric disorders. The 5-year research project will employ genetic, genomic, molecular, and behavioral approaches to explore how chronic stress influences the regulation of the transcription factor YY1 and related pathways in cortical excitatory neurons, with the goal of improving the understanding of stress-related psychiatric disorders and laying the groundwork for better diagnosis and intervention. The award was granted on November 18, 2024 and is scheduled for completion on September 30, 2029.
