This Project Grant award of $174,954 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 study the relationships between caregiving quality and the development of attention and executive function in children born very preterm. The award will fund the coding and analysis of observational data on caregiver-child interactions collected as part of the NOVI study, an existing...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research on the neural processes underlying word retention and vocabulary development in young children. The $542,304 award, effective September 1, 2024, with a final completion date of July 31, 2029, will enable the University of California, Davis to conduct functional MRI studies...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $155,500 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct research on the relationship between cognitive performance and early adult outcomes, such as educational investments, labor market success, marriage, and fertility, among young adults in Indonesia. The project leverages data from a 15-year...
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), aims to investigate the relationship between sleep, motor learning, and motor development in early childhood. The $153,512 award, granted to the University of Massachusetts, spans from May 2025 to May 2027. The key research goals are to: 1) identify sleep EEG markers that predict motor memory consolidation in...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to improve the effectiveness of parenting interventions for early childhood mental health concerns. The $561,325 grant, awarded on May 1, 2024, will enable the principal investigator to conduct research with the ultimate goal of becoming an independent scientist focused on enhancing parenting interventions. The key objectives are to: (1)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $320,000 in funding to Northeastern University for a 5-year research project on the neurocognitive development of adolescent learning. The project aims to investigate the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. The research will use behavioral, computational, and...
This federal 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 role of environmental context in early semantic network development.
