- This $853,969 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) aims to prospectively identify variation in trajectories of maternal depression across 25 years in a sample of 731 low-income families. The project will examine how contextual risk and protective factors relate to depression trajectories, and evaluate whether a family-centered intervention, the Family Check-Up, can buffer the severity of depressive symptom...
- This federal Project Grant award of $418,178 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to provide mechanistic insights into the neurobiological mechanisms by which maternal sensitivity is compromised by postpartum depression. Specifically, the University of Massachusetts (UMass), through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, will use intersectional viral...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $1,274,904.00, was provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The award, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, is focused on elucidating the mechanisms by which mobilization of transposable elements and disruption of mRNA translation impact neural progenitor cell function in Down syndrome. The key objectives of this collaborative research initiative are to: 1)...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $794,931 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on the relationship between early parent-infant synchrony and developmental outcomes among infants at genetic risk for ADHD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The 5-year project aims to investigate how early dyadic synchrony during parent-infant interactions may influence the...
- This $942,567 Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will fund a 3-year longitudinal investigation of expressive communication development in 180 children with Down syndrome from 18 to 54 months of age. The study will utilize deep-phenotyping and dense-sampling methods, including in-person and telehealth monitoring, to characterize...
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded a Project Grant of $1,896,457.00 under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), for the project "BRAIN DEVELOPMENT IN DOWN SYNDROME DURING FETAL AND EARLY POSTNATAL AGES". The grant, awarded on Sep 18, 2024, aims to confirm earlier findings on brain abnormalities in Down syndrome (DS) using advanced...
This Project Grant award of $720,000 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will pilot an adaptation of the Mothers and Babies (MB) program for expectant mothers and new parents of infants with Down syndrome. The key objective is to develop an enhanced version of the MB program, titled MBDS, that specifically targets the needs of this population, including addressing grief/loss and improving social support. The project aims to assess whether changes in these target mechanisms lead to reduced depressive symptoms and enhanced parental sensitivity and responsivity. This innovative study will be the first pilot of a perinatal depression prevention intervention designed for this population and will include both mothers and fathers. The award period is from September 22, 2025 to September 21, 2028, with Northwestern University serving as the primary awardee.
