- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $778,548 to support research on the neural mechanisms underlying social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. The awardee, the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Inc. through its Nathan S. Kline Institute Division, will utilize multimodal neuroimaging approaches, including ERP, fMRI, and transcranial direct current stimulation, to investigate...
- This $138,008 project grant was awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the federal Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), to the University of California, Irvine. The grant supports research focused on understanding the developmental trajectories and neural connectivity associated with attenuated psychotic symptoms in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. The project aims to examine how dispositional emotion regulation strategy use and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $649,965 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2029. The funding supports research to identify specific connections between the basolateral amygdala and ventral hippocampus that generate a biomarker of beta-frequency synchronization associated with mood and anxiety. The...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $733,355 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to evaluate social brain health in people living with HIV. The project, titled "Evaluating Social Brain Health in HIV: An RDoC-Based Approach," will investigate the complex set of social cognitive abilities, including recognizing social cues and inferring others' mental states, which are crucial...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $811,404 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the neural circuitry underlying anticipatory anhedonia in schizophrenia. The research aims to utilize a computational psychiatry approach to dissect the neural mechanisms of altered reward anticipation, which may serve as novel targets for treating...
- This federal Project Grant award of $3,299,818.00 was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant supports research by Yale University to study the neural mechanisms underlying complex social interaction strategies in freely moving individuals. The research aims to determine the interaction strategies used by dyads in novel social interaction tasks, and investigate the neural codes and population dynamics...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $250,200 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct a qualitative research study on the life experiences and perceptions of social connectedness among institutionalized adult women aging with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The research aims to inform interventions to decrease loneliness and social isolation, and improve social...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $665,494 to Yale University to establish a Social Interaction Suite (SIS) of synchronized neural and behavioral tools. The SIS is designed to measure cognitive networks associated with processing facial cues and correlated behaviors during live social interactions. The suite will include simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG),...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $706,404 to Thomas Jefferson University to conduct research on the pathophysiological roles of protein-protein interactions at excitatory synapses and their modifications in schizophrenia. The research aims to determine how defects in protein-protein interactions drive NMDA receptor hypofunction, a key aspect of the synaptic pathology in...
- The University of Southern California has been awarded a $654,923 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant will support the "CENTILEBRAIN: A Normative Modeling Framework for Brain Health and Disease" initiative, an international effort led by the ENIGMA Consortium. The project aims to (1) establish and disseminate a public platform of normative models for multimodal neuroimaging...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $433,125 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the project "Inter-Brain Synchrony as a Neural Mechanism of Social Connection in Schizophrenia". This 2-year grant, with a period of performance from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027, will investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social disconnection in individuals with schizophrenia. The project will use electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings to assess inter-brain synchrony between participants with schizophrenia and healthy controls during structured social interactions. This research aims to provide new insights into the neurobiological basis of social dysfunction in schizophrenia, which could inform the development of novel interventions to improve social functioning and quality of life for those affected by this mental health condition.
