This $180,439 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is supporting new mentored training in the computational neuroscience of higher-order threat learning and memory in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to advance neurobiological models of anxiety-related psychopathology and set the stage for addressing limitations in PTSD treatments. The research will apply multivariate pattern...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $218,896.00 to Trustees of Boston University's Boston University Medical Campus to conduct research on neuroinflammatory alterations in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The key objectives are to define microglia-mediated...
This $434,421 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research on the development of cerebellar-cortical functional connectivity in youth and its prediction of psychosis. The study, led by the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, aims to: 1) chart the normal development of cerebellar-cortical connectivity from childhood to early adulthood using data from large neurodevelopment...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) provides $424,175 to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to conduct research aimed at understanding the genomic basis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study seeks to integrate rare genetic variants and other omics data to identify novel genetic signals associated with PTSD. The researchers will leverage existing large-scale whole exome and whole genome sequencing...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program provides $617,737 to the University of Chicago to investigate a thalamic-hippocampal pathway's role in suppressing and extinguishing contextual fear memories associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research aims to use innovative techniques like 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics to uncover how the nucleus reuniens region of the...
The U.S. Department of Defense's Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) has awarded a $5,596,529 project grant to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to conduct research on understanding the interactions between gene X and stress across different brain cell types in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This 4-year grant, awarded on Sep 30, 2023, will fund studies to establish a human induced pluripotent stem cell-based platform for testing the functional impact...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,072,702 Project Grant (R01MH134787) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College. The grant, active from July 2024 through January 2029, will support research investigating the neural substrates underlying the encoding and retrieval of higher-order fear memories.

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants provides $537,035 to The Mclean Hospital Corporation to conduct a multilevel characterization of sensory cortical disinhibition in post-traumatic intrusions. The project aims to link lower levels of inhibitory neural activity and an imbalance in excitatory/inhibitory neurotransmitter systems to perturbations in the intrinsic functional organization of resting-state...
This $2,210,781 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research at Children's Hospital Los Angeles to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms in dopaminergic cells of the zona incerta that contribute to extinction learning. The project aims to illuminate the basic neurobiology underlying deficits in extinction learning, a core pathology of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)....

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $610,152 to Duke University to study the structural and functional connectivity of the cerebellum in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma exposure. The project aims to investigate the role of cortico-cerebellar circuits in the pathophysiology of PTSD, with a focus on cerebellar subregion connectivity to cortical and subcortical regions, as well as the impact of PTSD on resting-state neural networks. This 4-year research effort, spanning from May 2025 to February 2029, may contribute to the development of neuromodulatory therapeutics for PTSD by enhancing the understanding of cerebellar involvement in threat processing and fear response. The findings could inform future interventions targeting cortico-cerebellar connections to improve clinical outcomes for individuals affected by PTSD.
