The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Harvard College a $784,177 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 – Mental Health Research Grants) effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031, to investigate techniques for altering emotional responses associated with memories. The research leverages reactivation-induced memory change (RIMC) to examine factors that may reduce, enhance, or infuse negative feelings elicited by memories of emotional events. The project addresses three specific aims: diminishing negative feelings associated with negative event memories; examining mechanisms that may enhance such negative feelings; and determining whether RIMC techniques can introduce negative feelings into previously neutral memories. The research will also assess the impact of these interventions on physiological stress reactions. This basic research initiative aligns with NIMH's mission to advance understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through rigorous scientific investigation. The proposed work has potential implications for novel clinical interventions, given established linkages between intrusive negative memories and symptom severity in treatment-seeking populations. Products from this award will include peer-reviewed publications, mechanistic insights into memory modification processes, and potentially foundational data informing future therapeutic approaches for conditions characterized by unwanted emotional memories, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and other anxiety-related disorders.Federal Grant Award Summary
