Under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded Northeastern University $159,490 on March 15, 2026, for the Design & Development of Brain Game Center Infrastructure project. The award, scheduled for completion by February 28, 2029, supports Research Software Engineer Katherine Acevedo's development of open science tools designed to measure and train cognition. As Director of Development at the Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-Being, Acevedo leads development of the Portable Adaptive Rapid Testing (PART) software application, which supports multiple NIA-funded cognitive aging and Alzheimer's research and early detection projects. The PART platform delivers over 100 assessment measures spanning hearing, vision, cognitive control, executive functions, and decision-making, available through Apple and Google Play stores. The software integrates both standard neuropsychological measures and novel assessments of central auditory and visual processes not available in comparable platforms such as NIH Toolbox, TABCAT, or Mobile Toolbox. A key strength of the PART system is its high degree of configurability, which enables rapid development of new cognitive tasks, refinement of existing measures, adaptation to diverse populations, and testing of how task variants impact psychometric properties—capabilities that enhance its utility across the portfolio of ongoing NIA-funded research initiatives.Federal Grant Award Summary
