- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, Berkeley $759,816 on May 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop targeted machine learning estimators for analyzing cluster randomized trials of HIV prevention strategies. The award funds methodological research addressing two critical gaps in cluster randomized trial (CRT) analysis. The first involves developing machine learning methods to minimize bias from missing data in...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded California Institute of Technology $1,417,650 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop instrumentation for synchronized multimodal recording and analysis of human behavior and neural activity during complex, unstructured tasks. The project develops a system to acquire and synchronize behavioral data streams including head-mounted eye tracking to monitor gaze position, egocentric and...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded New York University $435,974 on May 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop computational models that quantify individual differences in learning and decision-making and predict psychiatric symptoms. The award funds development of a novel computational framework combining recurrent neural networks and dynamical systems theory to model reward learning processes at the individual level rather than group...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $722,773 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on July 15, 2026, to develop explainable artificial intelligence frameworks for predicting depression incidents in people with HIV. The research integrates multimodal data from 3,962 people with HIV across multiple longitudinal studies to elucidate bidirectional associations between HIV, depression, and immune dysregulation. The project...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $117,263 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on May 6, 2026, to support a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award focused on prediction of risk and resilience in psychosis and bipolar spectrum disorders. The award funds development of machine learning models to identify novel combinations of demographic, social determinants of health, clinical, cognitive, and biological factors...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $721,645 on May 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to identify multimodal prognostic markers predictive of psychosis transition in youths at clinical high risk using artificial intelligence and large-scale multimodal data from clinical, cognitive, and neurobiological sources. The recipient will develop and validate an AI-based computational framework combining explainable...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, San Diego $199,271 on August 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop a measurement-informed machine learning model for generalizable suicide risk prediction in youth. The project will create a transparent, interpretable, and developmentally sensitive machine learning model incorporating neurobiological, psychological, electronic health record-derived, and social indicators to...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $192,192 on April 15, 2026, to develop an artificial intelligence foundation model for functional neuroimaging that predicts treatment response, stratifies patients, and identifies biotypes in major depressive disorder under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). The award funds three specific aims. Aim 1 applies pooled functional MRI data from individuals with major depressive disorder to fine-tune a...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $117,747 on May 22, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support research on neural computations underlying flexible control of behavioral strategies and problem-solving. The award funds a K99 Pathway to Independence Award project combining large-scale electrophysiology with closed-loop optogenetics in freely behaving rats performing strategy-switching...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded $442,750 to the University of California, Davis on April 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop statistical methods for predicting individualized intervention effects in clustered and longitudinal datasets. The project addresses a critical gap in precision medicine: identifying individuals likely to respond to specific interventions when dealing with high-dimensional biomarker data and complex data...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, Berkeley, $210,915 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on August 1, 2026. The award funds an 8-week remote summer workshop series that trains early-, mid-career, and senior-level social and behavioral scientists in machine learning and emerging artificial intelligence technologies, including generative AI and large language models. The curriculum begins with Python programming from a data science perspective and progresses to advanced topics in machine learning and emerging AI methods. The program is structured as a train-the-trainer initiative, with trainees prepared to deliver their own versions of the course at their home institutions to extend the program's reach beyond direct participants. No prior programming experience is required. The university will leverage its existing expertise in remote data science training across social and behavioral sciences to address a gap in formal training infrastructure for emerging AI pedagogies relevant to health research domains including population health, child and adolescent development, and health economics. Performance of the work occurs at Berkeley, California, with an expected completion date of April 30, 2030.
