This federal Project Grant award of $669,049.00, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support a research study investigating 24-hour patterns of sleep and negative affect among individuals with recurrent binge eating behavior. The study aims to: 1) identify 24-hour sleep patterns that signal individual vulnerability for binge eating, and 2) disentangle the bidirectional relationship between sleep and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is providing $522,737.71 over a 3-year period starting February 1, 2025 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research towards developing an etiological model of adolescent eating disorders. The project will leverage data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and a clinical sample of adolescent girls with eating...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $874,625 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study avoidance learning and its relationship to eating disorder symptoms in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The research aims to identify neural and behavioral processes that drive eating disorder symptomatology, with a focus on differentiating between active and passive...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $118,122 to the University of South Florida to investigate the role of gastrointestinal (GI) interoception (perception of internal bodily signals) in the maintenance of disordered eating behaviors. The 20-month study will use ecological momentary assessment and psychophysiology measures to determine if visceral sensitivity precedes and decreases...
The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. was awarded a $249,521 Project Grant by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant will fund a pilot randomized controlled trial of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention called "Building Healthy Eating and Self-Esteem Together for University Students" (BEST-U).

This Project Grant award of $142,656 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying craving and its impact on decision-making in food addiction. The award will fund a study that induces craving through multisensory food cues and examines how craving differentially affects subjective value computations for craved and non-craved foods in individuals with and without...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $176,960 to Virginia Commonwealth University to conduct research on the developmental changes in exploration strategies and associated neural circuitry in adolescents with bulimia nervosa (BN). The study will use an accelerated longitudinal design to examine exploration behaviors and neural activation patterns in early, middle, and late adolescent...
This $380,195 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program examines how increased attention to body weight impacts physical, psychological, and behavioral outcomes related to obesity. The key research activities include three lab experiments testing whether attention-related health cognitions cause increases in stress, changes in eating behavior and emotionality, and perceptions of exercise difficulty....
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $450,488 project grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to characterize the acute biobehavioral response to exercise among individuals with restrictive eating disorders (ED). The 2-year project aims to 1) evaluate variability in reward and threat response to exercise, 2) develop tasks to assess exercise-related reward and threat processes, and 3) test hypotheses that...
This Project Grant award of $1,682,938 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to optimize an automated chatbot program to provide efficient, scalable treatment for eating disorders (EDs). The primary goals are to: 1) Estimate the individual and combined effects of four candidate ED treatment components (targeting overevaluation of weight/shape, dietary restraint, emotion dysregulation, and resisting urges to binge)...
