The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $133,130 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of Louisville to conduct a study on "Real-Time Monitoring of Relapse in Eating Disorders." The study aims to improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying relapse in eating disorders, which often have high mortality rates and limited effective treatments. The research will use micro-longitudinal and longitudinal methods to capture the...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,957,972 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to Auburn University, with a sub-award to Yale University and San Diego State University Research Foundation. The project aims to refine and test an innovative virtually delivered treatment, called "Promoting Resilience to Improve Disordered Eating (PRIDE)," that integrates evidence-based eating disorder care with sexual minority (SM)-affirmative treatment....
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants provides $874,625 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study avoidance learning behaviors and neural mechanisms in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) compared to healthy controls. The project aims to elucidate how differences in active versus passive avoidance learning strategies and associated brain function may underlie...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $154,280 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of Pittsburgh to identify biomolecular targets within plasma extracellular vesicles that may mediate the cognitive benefits of aerobic exercise in older adults with remitted late-life depression. This 2-year research project complements an ongoing clinical trial examining the effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive and brain health in this high-risk...
This Project Grant award of $522,737.71 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a multimodal research study to identify genetic, neuroimaging, and behavioral predictors of eating disorders in adolescents. The research team at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will leverage longitudinal data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and include a clinical sample of adolescent girls...
This $770,654 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) aims to evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of using aerobic exercise to enhance fear extinction learning and retrieval in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The 5-year project at the University of Texas at Austin will 1) compare the impact of different exercise intensities on fear extinction consolidation and generalization, 2) assess how...
This $669,049 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a study investigating 24-hour patterns of sleep and negative affect among individuals with recurrent binge eating behavior. The study, conducted by North Dakota State University, aims to 1) identify 24-hour sleep patterns that signal individual vulnerability for binge eating, and 2) examine the bidirectional relationship between sleep...
This is a Project Grant award of $2,636,509.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The award is to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study the effects of a ketogenic diet on weight-recovered individuals with anorexia nervosa. The key goals are to establish biological targets and metabolic markers related to the ketogenic diet, as well as evaluate its impact on eating disorder-specific behaviors. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $941,616 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between food cue exposure, food craving, and binge eating behavior. The project aims to use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and electroencephalography (EEG) to examine how alterations in attention and memory processes influence the link between...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,682,938 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Washington University in St. Louis to optimize an automated chatbot program for the treatment of eating disorders (EDs). The project aims to build and test an efficient, scalable ED treatment chatbot by evaluating four candidate components targeting specific ED mechanisms (e.g., overevaluation of weight/shape, dietary restraint, emotion dysregulation, binge...
