This $489,314 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund a feasibility and efficacy study of a virtual reality (VR) cognitive training intervention called NeuroTrainer. The study, conducted by Neurotrainer, Inc., aims to evaluate the NeuroTrainer approach for improving attentional and executive control function, reducing inattention symptoms, and enhancing academic behaviors in a sample of 155 students, including those with and without attention-related difficulties such as ADHD. The key products and services to be delivered under this 26-month grant include:
- Developing a commercially viable VR cognitive training intervention for students with ADHD, aligned with NIMH research priorities.
- Evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of the NeuroTrainer approach to engage the target of ADHD inattention symptoms and demonstrate transfer of skills to improved academic behaviors.
- Generating evidence to support the potential for broad dissemination and applicability of the NeuroTrainer intervention in diverse educational contexts.
