The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $413,509 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), awarded on September 26, 2025, with completion targeted for August 31, 2027. This research initiative delivers computational and analytical services focused on predicting infant cognitive growth through novel applications of centile-based explainable artificial intelligence (AI) integrated with cross-cohort meta-matching techniques. The project leverages four infant brain multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) databases to generate individual centile score maps from structural and resting-state functional MRI data, separating developmental influences into anatomical and functional domains. The grant supports the development and application of advanced bioanalytical products that identify key neural biomarkers influencing distinct infant cognitive subdomains. Specifically, the research incorporates latent neural signatures derived from large-scale children and adolescent datasets to map previously unmeasured phenotypes—such as adolescent fluid intelligence, social behavior, and environmental exposures like PM2.5 pollution—to infant brain measures. This meta-matching approach aims to uncover previously hidden connections linking childhood and adolescent neuroimaging data to infant cognitive development outcomes, potentially establishing neural proxies for underlying cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors impacting early development.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
