The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded $745,840 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc., Nathan S Kline Institute, effective May 1, 2026, through February 28, 2031. This Project Grant supports basic neuroscience research investigating optimal timing and cognitive conditions for memory consolidation during wakefulness. The research employs advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods combined with causal manipulation techniques to identify when memory consolidation peaks during post-learning periods and which cognitive states—internally-oriented versus externally-oriented—maximize consolidation effectiveness. The research directly addresses memory abnormalities prevalent in psychiatric and neurological disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, aging-related cognitive decline, and other conditions. By systematically decomposing awake post-learning periods across extended time windows and varying cognitive states, the project aims to establish evidence-based intervention windows for strategic memory modulation. The anticipated products include peer-reviewed publications, mechanistic insights into human memory processes, and foundational knowledge to inform future therapeutic approaches for enhancing mental health and cognitive function across diverse clinical populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
