This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding a $424,875 research project titled "Adolescent Trauma Produces Enduring Disruptions in Sleep Architecture that Lead to Increased Risk for Adult Mental Illness." The project aims to: 1) determine if individual differences in sleep profiles following adolescent stress can predict adult behavioral outcomes related to depression and...
This $4,698,676 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research on the developmental trajectories of sleep EEG biomarkers and their association with psychopathology in young adulthood. The grantee, Pennsylvania State University, will leverage a unique population-based child cohort to study how age-related changes in slow wave activity, sleep spindle density, and odds ratio product -...
This Project Grant award of $121,424 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to examine the relationship between early sleep disturbances and neurodevelopmental trajectories in infancy. The primary goals of the research are to: (1) investigate how sleep latency and thalamocortical connectivity predict diagnostic outcomes in infants at varying familial risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and (2)...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $716,362 to Montana State University to conduct research on the developmental impacts of sleep patterns on positive valence systems and socioemotional functioning during pre-adolescence. The research project involves two complementary studies. Study 1 is a 1-year longitudinal study with 290 youth aged 8-12 to examine the mechanistic...
This $2,809,928.00 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a multi-site, double-blind, randomized controlled efficacy trial of the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TRANS-C) for depression symptoms in older adults with high suicide risk. The primary objectives are to confirm TRANS-C's target engagement (sleep-wake rhythm stability) and evaluate its efficacy for...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $792,441 to investigate the relationship between stress responses and risk of depression in female adolescents with and without a parental history of major depressive disorder (MDD). The key objectives are to: 1) Assess changes in dynamic brain network properties, specifically in the default mode network (DMN) and central executive network (CEN),...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $249,000.00 to investigate the neurobiological, genetic, and environmental factors that contribute to the development of depression in children at high family risk. The research will examine whether measures of hippocampal structure and function, as well as cumulative genetic risk, predict individual differences in susceptibility versus...
This $588,018 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research to investigate the neural basis underlying the impact of stress on sleep. The key objectives are to determine the role of specific neuron projections in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus in mediating stress-induced sleep disturbances, including frequent microarousals and rapid eye movement sleep dysregulation, as well as...
This $234,231 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support the development of prototype machine learning algorithms to facilitate analyses of longitudinal data on juvenile-onset depression. The University of Pittsburgh will lead this 2-year research project, which aims to leverage a unique dataset of repeated assessments on multiple domains of functioning for individuals with juvenile-onset...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $809,312 to Duke University to characterize circadian function and sleep disturbances among 250 children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study aims to: 1) assess individual differences in circadian function and sleep profiles using gold-standard dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) and wearable sensor technologies; 2)...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $195,000 in funding to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital (RINCH) from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027. The project aims to characterize the role of sleep brain dynamics in the emergence of depression in adolescents. Specifically, the study will: (1) identify the space-time profiles of sleep slow oscillations and spindles and contrast them across youth at high and low risk for depression; (2) establish the predictive role of these sleep profiles in relation to increases in depression symptoms over 3 and 6 months; and (3) explore the potential mediating role of emotional regulation in the relationship between sleep profiles and depression trajectories in youth. The findings will inform future research on early detection of major depressive disorder in adolescents and the development of interventions that can manipulate sleep oscillations.
