The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded The Washington University a Project Grant of $140,109 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) for the period June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029. The award supports the sustainable development, dissemination, and training of scalable, cloud-based software tools designed to standardize and streamline optical brain mapping workflows across the neuroimaging research community. These tools will facilitate efficient and accurate processing of data from functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) imaging technologies, enabling researchers to harmonize optical measurement strategies and analyze relationships between brain connectivity and behavioral outcomes. The deliverables under this award include accessible, validated computational resources and training materials that support the complete optical brain mapping workflow, from optical tissue parameter recovery through functional brain mapping to behavioral correlation analyses. By providing intuitive, standardized tools, the project addresses critical gaps in the neuroimaging community's capacity to process optical imaging data consistently and scale these emerging methodologies across the broader ecosystem of network-level brain analyses. This initiative supports the growing worldwide adoption of optical brain mapping methods within the National Institutes of Health's Brain Initiative framework.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
