The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Stanford University $767,029 on July 6, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and validate a multimodal assessment protocol for characterizing restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRB) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The project will produce three primary deliverables: (1) a computerized adaptive test version of the Dimensional Assessment of Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors (DARB-CAT) to reduce patient burden through individually tailored item selection; (2) a clinician interview version of the DARB (DARB-I) to enable structured clinical assessment; and (3) an ecological momentary assessment protocol (DARB-EMA) to capture daily and weekly variations in RRB and their contextual occurrence. These tools will build upon the existing DARB informant-report questionnaire, which assesses eight distinct RRB subdomains and has demonstrated strong psychometric properties across age, sex, and diagnostic status. The five-year project, scheduled for completion by June 30, 2031, is designed to address significant gaps in existing RRB assessment measures by providing comprehensive, scalable, and time-efficient tools that facilitate diagnostic processes, enable etiologically oriented research, inform treatment selection, and support long-term symptom monitoring in ASD and neurogenetic disorders. The development of these assessment protocols will support the NIMH mission to transform understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through research that advances prevention, recovery, and improved clinical outcomes.Federal Grant Award Summary
