Project Grant R03HD115948
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund research to investigate the impact of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genetic risk on microglia-neuronal interactions. The $165,796 award, effective November 22, 2024 through June 30, 2028, will support the use of human stem cell culture and 3D cortical spheroid models to assess how ASD genetic risk affects microglia physiology and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $507,540.00 to The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, to conduct research on language profiles and outcomes in school-age children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as toddlers. The project aims to characterize language profiles and outcomes in 213 children diagnosed with ASD as toddlers, including...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $489,500 to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to conduct research on identifying early neurobiological markers and developmental factors that impact language acquisition in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research aims to (1) characterize resting state EEG differences...
- This Project Grant award of $431,750 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) aims to develop algorithms using advanced machine learning models that can predict outbursts in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from July 2025 to June 2027, include: Collecting a novel dataset on the...
- 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 $120,000 Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2025 by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CARES) Act Program (CFDA 93.877). The grant will fund a research project by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to characterize the interactions of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or developmental disabilities (DD) with 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...
- 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...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research to investigate how the gut microbiome composition impacts gastrointestinal (GI) and central nervous system (CNS) function in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The $430,375 award to the partnership between Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University Health Sciences will...
- This Project Grant award of $150,000 from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs (CFDA 93.110), is designed to integrate all aspects of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) care into the patient-centered medical home (PCMH). The project aims to increase capacity within the PCMH to provide a continuum of autism care, as ASD is an increasingly prevalent condition affecting an estimated 1 in 36 children in the United...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The $165,000 award, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, will leverage data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange II to assess perivascular space measures and choroid plexus volume in individuals with ASD. This research aims to investigate the relationship between impaired CSF clearance, as indicated by lower diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular spaces (DTI-ALPS), and enlarged choroid plexus volume, which has been associated with more severe ASD symptoms. The award recipient is The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital, a renowned academic medical center with extensive expertise in conducting federally funded biomedical research.
