The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a Project Grant totaling $450,175 (obligated April 15, 2026) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc. through its New York State Psychiatric Institute division. The award supports a two-year research initiative (completion date April 14, 2028) investigating whether restrictive eating behavior in anorexia nervosa results from underutilization of episodic future thinking (EFT) during food choice decisions. The research employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning to examine how individuals with anorexia nervosa and healthy control participants value food choices under two conditions: one oriented toward personalized future outcomes and another toward recent past experiences. The primary deliverable is empirical research data and analysis comparing neural valuation mechanisms and ventromedial prefrontal cortex activity between patient and control groups. The study addresses a critical gap in understanding why maladaptive food choices in anorexia nervosa persist despite treatment and patient expressions of recovery goals. Findings from this neuroimaging-based investigation are intended to provide scientific evidence supporting potential therapeutic interventions that leverage future-thinking mechanisms to realign eating behavior with long-term recovery objectives, ultimately contributing to improved treatment approaches for one of psychiatry's highest-mortality conditions.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
