The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $832,307 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco on April 24, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). This award funds basic neuroscience research investigating the genetic control and developmental mechanisms of basal telencephalic structures, specifically examining how the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) generates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons during forebrain development. The research will identify transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms controlling cell fate specification and neuronal differentiation of forebrain GABAergic neurons in the basal ganglia, cortex, and hippocampus. The primary deliverables include mechanistic insights into gene networks that regulate normal forebrain development and research findings on how dysregulation of these networks contributes to neuropsychiatric disorders including epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. Research will be conducted at UCSF's San Francisco facility through December 31, 2030. The project is anticipated to generate peer-reviewed publications and data that advance understanding of the neurobiological foundations of mental health disorders, supporting NIMH's mission to transform treatment and prevention of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research.Grant Award Summary
