- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Johns Hopkins University $538,657 on July 15, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop Neural Navigator, a standardized platform for quantifying circuit pathophysiology in patient-derived cerebral organoids using multi-electrode array recordings and machine learning-based modeling to decode psychiatric disorder signatures in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The project aims to establish reproducible...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Johns Hopkins University $807,893 on August 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct advanced magnetic resonance imaging research on neurovascular abnormalities in individuals with schizophrenia across the life span. The recipient will perform quantitative MR imaging at 7 Tesla field strength to test the hypothesis that cerebral microvasculature and cerebrospinal fluid circulation and clearance...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded $3.161 million to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston on July 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to study care coordination between hospitals and specialty behavioral health clinics for adults with serious mental illness. The research uses Medicaid administrative claims from multiple states and a quasi-experimental approach to assess whether implementation of the Certified Community...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a Project Grant of $443,931 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027. This research project aims to develop and validate novel methodologies for accurately tracking structural brain changes using low-field (0.05T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology coupled with autonomous control systems and...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. $2.961 million on August 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop standardized digital health data formats for mental health research and clinical care. The award funds five integrated aims. Aim 1 establishes a multidisciplinary consortium of clinicians, researchers, industry representatives, regulators, and patient advocates to develop a governance framework...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Johns Hopkins University $384,245 on August 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop DNA probes and modified extracellular vesicles as therapeutic tools to reverse stress-induced epigenetic changes in the brain. The project addresses the role of chronic stress and cortisol exposure in causing epigenetic modifications that disrupt genes critical for brain function and neurodevelopment, contributing to...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Johns Hopkins University $149,766 on August 20, 2026, for a predoctoral fellowship under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The fellowship supports Ananya Bhaktaram in the Perceptions on Loneliness, Connectedness and Environments (PLACE) study, which investigates social and spatial factors influencing social connectedness and mental health, substance use, and HIV-related behaviors and outcomes in people living with HIV and...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Johns Hopkins University $737,756 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a five-year study of mobile crisis services utilization, outcomes, and implementation across state Medicaid programs. The research will merge 2021–2025 Medicaid claims data with local workforce, socioeconomic, and policy files from nine states and the District of Columbia, paired with 45 stakeholder interviews. Three research aims will measure how individual factors (age, sex), community context (rurality, provider supply), and state Medicaid policy guidance predict receipt of mobile crisis services versus emergency department visits during behavioral health crises; estimate the effect of mobile crisis care on psychiatric hospitalization, outpatient mental health follow-up within 7 and 30 days, and repeat crisis occurrence within 90 days; and identify workforce, finance, and coordination factors that explain quantitative findings and shape program scale-up. The analysis will employ a staggered, policy-based fuzzy difference-in-differences design using four external policy shocks—ARPA mobile crisis funds, SAMHSA planning grants, new state appropriations, and 988 dispatch statutes—to isolate variation in mobile crisis service availability. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland. The award period runs through May 31, 2031.
