This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $798,671 from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) will support a research project titled "Radiomics for Clinically-Acquired Brain MRIs of Youth with Neurodevelopmental Disorders". The project aims to develop advanced imaging analysis capabilities to leverage the vast repository of clinical brain MRI scans collected at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to identify imaging...
This $3,085,041 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to longitudinally examine brain maturation and its relationship to mental health outcomes in adolescents. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include using advanced neuroimaging techniques like 7T MRI to measure changes in brain structure, function, and...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to purchase a next-generation 3 Tesla human MRI scanner for mental health research. The new scanner will replace an obsolete 16+-year-old system, enabling MGH's Integrated PET-MRI Facility at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging to leverage advanced imaging capabilities to...
The federal Project Grant award R01NS134849, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under CFDA program 93.853, supports the development and optimization of a rapid and robust quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for high-resolution volumetric brain imaging. The $621,617 award, with a project period from Sep 12, 2024 to Jun 30, 2029, aims to leverage expertise in MRI, machine learning, and pulse sequence optimization to advance MR...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $600,000 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to add ultra-high performance magnetic field gradients and amplifiers to a 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy research scanner. This new equipment will dramatically improve the quality of neuroimaging data, enabling enhanced diffusion tractography, functional MRI, and...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $11,731,574 Cooperative Agreement under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to create comprehensive 3D brain atlases for humans and non-human primates. The goal is to simultaneously map brain-wide function, structure, and high-dimensional features (e.g., proteomic, transcriptomic, spatial, morphological, microenvironment, and nanoscopic information) of cells acquired...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) totaling $6,311,402.00 will develop an advanced technology for non-invasive recording of whole-brain physiology with synchronized video-tracking of movement. The award will be used by Seattle Children's Hospital, working with sub-awardees Fieldline Inc. and the University of Washington, to refine and validate the use of a wearable OPM-MEG...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $323,978 to the Child Mind Institute Inc., a non-profit organization in New York, to develop novel tools for integrating brain microstructure and functional dynamics in human and non-human primate research. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year award include: Extending the existing BrainBuilder tool to...
This $392,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to investigate the developmental origins of mental illness by studying the structure and function of the human hypothalamus. The project, conducted by the University of California, Irvine, will leverage large-scale archival datasets from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) and Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) studies...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $2,515,724 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to further develop NTracer2, a cloud-based platform for brain image visualization and neuron tracing. The project aims to establish NTracer2's SISF data framework as a scalable image data standard, continue developing the NTracer2 content delivery network and application server, and deploy the full-stack...
