- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $857,216 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to study the neurodevelopmental trajectories leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behaviors in socioeconomically disadvantaged, racially and ethnically diverse children. The key objectives of this project are to: 1)...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to identify multimodal predictors of response to a parent-based treatment for pediatric anxiety disorders. With $147,486 in funding obligated, the research project will be conducted by Yale University from January 25, 2025 to August 31, 2026. The key objectives are to understand the critical role of parents in supporting children's fear...
- This $201,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research to examine the biological mechanisms underlying problematic avoidant/restrictive eating behaviors in adults with functional dyspepsia (FD). The study aims to identify whether the hormones oxytocin and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are associated with these eating behaviors in FD patients. The...

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $153,500 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of Florida for a meta-analysis of behavioral treatments for pediatric feeding disorders. The project, titled "META-ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIORAL TREATMENTS FOR PEDIATRIC FEEDING DISORDERS", will focus on understanding and improving treatments for a high percentage of children who do not eat or drink at sufficient levels, leading to substantial health consequences and stress for caregivers. The project aims to evaluate the most effective behavioral methods for treating severe feeding difficulties in children, particularly those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and to facilitate the dissemination of these evidence-based treatments to healthcare providers. The award period runs from September 5, 2025 to September 4, 2027.
