This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $941,616 to North Dakota State University to study the relationship between food cue exposure, food craving, and binge eating behaviors. The researchers will use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and electroencephalography (EEG) to examine how attention and memory processes influence these factors, with the goal of identifying...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Karolinska Institutet in Sweden a 5-year, $1,532,675 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) to conduct the Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative 2 (EDGI2) study. The project aims to identify genetic and environmental risk factors for eating disorders by phenotyping and bio-sampling 20,000 new participants with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. The...

This Project Grant award of $4,698,676 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to study the developmental trajectories of sleep EEG biomarkers and their association with psychopathology through young adulthood. The research, led by Pennsylvania State University's Hershey Medical Center, aims to leverage longitudinal sleep EEG data from a population-based child cohort to investigate how the maturation...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support a comprehensive study on the impacts of sleep patterns on positive valence systems and socioemotional functioning during pre-adolescence. The $716,362 award to Montana State University will fund a longitudinal observational study with 290 youth aged 8-12 as well as an experimental study with 64 youth aged 10-12. The research will examine how...
This Project Grant award, totaling $1,607,597, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under its Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The funding will support research to elucidate the developmental course and shared versus unique genetic and environmental risk factors underlying eating disorders (ED) and non-eating disorders internalizing-spectrum disorders (NONED-INT), such as major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. The research team, led by...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) totaling $874,625 to investigate avoidance learning processes in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). The study aims to differentiate active versus passive avoidance learning strategies and evaluate their association with eating disorder symptoms and neural function. The project will compare avoidance...
This federal Project Grant award of $248,075.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports research to identify genetic, neuroimaging, and behavioral predictors of eating disorders (EDs) in adolescence. The project, titled "Towards an Etiological Model of Adolescent Eating Disorders through Neuroimaging, Genetics, and Behavior", will leverage data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD)...

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $669,049 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to North Dakota State University to investigate 24-hour patterns of sleep and negative affect among individuals with recurrent binge eating behavior. The 5-year project aims to: 1) identify 24-hour sleep patterns that signal individual vulnerability for binge eating, and 2) disentangle the bidirectional relationship between sleep and binge eating at a daily level, integrating the role of negative affect. The study will recruit 230 adults with recurrent binge eating, using wrist actigraphy and ecological momentary assessment to collect data on sleep characteristics, naps, disordered eating behaviors, and negative affect over a 14-day period. The findings are expected to improve recognition of biobehavioral patterns predicting binge eating vulnerability and inform the development of sleep-focused interventions to enhance eating disorder treatment outcomes.
