The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Children's Research Institute $479,144 on August 5, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and test Unstuck and On Target for Early Childhood (Unstuck-EC), a tier 2 executive function intervention for preschool children with disabilities. The award funds a randomized controlled trial comparing Unstuck-EC, implemented by preschool classroom teachers, against services-as-usual care. Unstuck-EC adapts the evidence-based Unstuck and On Target: 8-11 intervention for younger children and targets executive function deficits that predict later aggression, anxiety, mood challenges, and poor academic and adaptive functioning in neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD. The intervention is designed to reduce preschool expulsion risk and improve developmental trajectories for young children with identified executive function challenges. Children's Research Institute, a nonprofit pediatric research organization based in Washington, DC, serves as the recipient. Performance occurs in Washington, DC, with a period of performance extending from August 5, 2026, through April 30, 2029. This award is classified as a Project Grant, the standard assistance mechanism for investigator-initiated research under the NIMH program.
