The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $911,929 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) to the Scripps Research Institute to conduct research on the genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder and neurodevelopmental delay. The project, titled "Scalable Functional Analysis of Neuropsychiatric Risk Genes with Spatially Integrated In Vivo Perturb-Seq," aims to use advanced in vivo genetic screening and whole-brain imaging techniques to investigate how...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $194,375 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct research on the role of midbody remnants (MBRs) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) pathogenesis. The key objective is to elucidate how an ASD-associated mutation in the PTEN gene alters the molecular composition of MBRs and how this impacts neural progenitor cell proliferation and neuronal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) in the amount of $164,992 will support research to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) pathology associated with CHD8 haploinsufficiency. The research will be conducted by the University of California, Davis, a leading public research institution, and will involve mapping the...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to investigate the contribution of noncoding tandem repeat expansions in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The $188,393 award, with a performance period of August 15, 2024 to June 30, 2028, will be used by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to: 1) identify high-confidence...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to elucidate the role of the neuronal Brahma Associated Factor (nBAF) chromatin remodeling complex in regulating experience-induced neuronal gene transcription and synapse maturation, with implications for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The $237,750 grant awarded to the University of California, Merced will support research to determine if the nBAF...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research is intended to support research on the molecular mechanisms underlying changes in inhibitory synapses in Down syndrome. The $429,000 award will enable researchers at the University of Michigan to use human embryonic stem cell models to investigate how triplication of the Down Syndrome Cell...
This Project Grant award of $253,500.00 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to resolve the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and the impact of non-syndromic autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-related risk genes on neuronal structure and function. The key products or services to be delivered through this award include: 1) establishing...
This Project Grant award of $429,000 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to understand the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying cognitive disabilities in Down syndrome. The award to the University of Colorado-Denver will utilize a novel combination of two-photon microscopy, electrophysiology, chemogenetics, and pharmacological...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will fund research to identify differentially ubiquitinated proteins and potential UBE3A targets in both excitatory and inhibitory neurons at different developmental stages in UBE3A mutant mice. The $427,625 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2027, will enable...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $251,250 to support research on sex-dependent dysregulation of parvalbumin interneurons as a pathway to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research aims to study whether in utero exposure to anti-CASPR2 antibodies has sex-specific epigenetic effects on the maturation of parvalbumin interneurons, which may contribute to network imbalance in male mice....
