Yale University received an $827,899 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031. This five-year research initiative, titled "Deconstructing Delusion Mechanisms via Causal Learning," aims to advance understanding of delusions in individuals with schizophrenia by investigating the role of prediction errors in belief formation and social cognition. The grant supports a comprehensive research program spanning three specific aims: (1) examination of social and non-social Kamin blocking as behavioral metrics of prediction error processing in patients with schizophrenia versus control participants; (2) application of computational modeling to quantify prediction errors, learning rates, and weighting parameters associated with delusion severity; and (3) implementation of functional neuroimaging and neuromelanin scanning to determine how prediction error mechanisms are implemented in the brain and their relationship to dopamine and noradrenaline system integrity. The integrated bio-psycho-social approach is designed to provide a rigorous mechanistic account of delusions, potentially advancing treatment development for psychotic illnesses that frequently do not respond to existing pharmacological or psychosocial interventions.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
