- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support a study to examine mental health hospitalizations and follow-up care for autistic adults. The $151,500 award to Drexel University, beginning August 15, 2023, will utilize national hospitalization data and Medicaid claims to investigate the experiences and care patterns of this population. The goal is to inform service delivery...
- The federal Project Grant award of $127,557 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a research project titled "Brain Aging in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder". The goal is to characterize age-related changes in neuroimmune profiles, immune cell phenotypes, and neuronal inflammation in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to unaffected controls using postmortem human brain tissue....
- This federal Project Grant award of $185,552.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to examine the neurocognitive and social factors underlying suicide risk in adolescent girls. The key objectives are to investigate two forms of sustained neurocognitive responsivity to social threat that may disrupt social connectedness and increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors in this population. The research will...
- This $154,484 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support a study investigating the roles of social reward responsiveness and interpersonal stress as predictors of suicidal ideation in sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth. The study will assess these risk factors in a sample of 210 adolescents (aged 13-17) following acute psychiatric treatment for self-injurious thoughts and behaviors....
- This federal Project Grant award, titled "Tracking Depression and Associated Modifiable Social-Emotional Factors in Adolescent Girls with Autism", is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The award provides $509,310.95 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct a longitudinal study investigating depression trajectories and social mechanisms among adolescent girls with autism spectrum disorder. The...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 4-year, $1,549,649 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Rutgers, The State University in New Jersey. The goal of this research project is to leverage a multimodal assessment of behavioral and social mechanisms to improve the ability to identify specific predictors relating social disconnection to suicidal ideation in older adults. The project will examine how rejection sensitivity moderates the...
- This Project Grant award of $746,183 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a longitudinal study to evaluate preterm infants' autonomic nervous system dysfunction as a predictor of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study aims to: 1) assess preterm infants' autonomic nervous system dysfunction as an ASD-specific etiological mechanism, 2) examine how neonatal morbidities moderate the association between...
- The University of Southern California received a $817,597 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to conduct research on leveraging social determinants of health (SDOH) data from electronic health records to develop machine learning models that predict the risk of persistent adverse mental health outcomes for autistic children and youth. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year grant, which runs from...
- This $129,290 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to analyze phenotypic, genetic, and neurobiological data from over 43,000 participants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). The goal is to better understand how genetic variation associated with intellectual disability, ASD, and SCZ maps onto developmental...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $837,131 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Yale University to improve the inclusion of individuals with intellectual disability in autism neuroscience research. The 5-year project, starting on February 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2029, aims to apply innovative technological and clinical approaches to collect neuroscience data from 70 children with autism and intellectual disability, as...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a $792,006 research study on suicidality in autistic adults. The study aims to comprehensively examine the relationships between adversity, trauma, and protective factors in predicting suicidal ideation and behaviors in a sample of 250 autistic adults aged 18-40, with at least half being at high-risk for suicide. The longitudinal study utilizes a community-engaged approach and includes baseline, 6-month, and 12-month assessments as well as daily diaries to identify proximal risk and protective factors. This research directly addresses priorities identified by the autistic community and the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee to reduce premature mortality in this population. The 5-year project will be conducted by the University of Pittsburgh and is set to commence on September 1, 2025.
