This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $826,902 to the Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc. to examine the dynamic relationships between physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms with neurobehavioral heterogeneity in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The 5-year project aims to leverage wearable technology to objectively track daily...
The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) was awarded a $1,496,542 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a research study titled "Quantification of Distraction in Academic Settings: A Translational Approach." The overarching goal of this 5-year project is to enhance the measurement of distractibility in youth across various naturalistic learning environments, including a virtual...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $615,908 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to Nurelm Inc. to develop and test the LEMURDX system. LEMURDX is a software platform that uses machine learning and wearable sensors to objectively measure hyperactivity in children with ADHD. The project aims to refine the LEMURDX product to enhance ease of use for clinical researchers, and to test the system's ability to detect changes in hyperactivity in children on...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,978,475 Project Grant (R01MH137624) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The Trustees of Princeton University to investigate the neural basis of visual attention in the primate brain. The project aims to establish common behavioral patterns and relate them to intracranial neural activity in both humans and macaques, bridging mesoscopic-level human data to cell-type specific dynamics and causal manipulations...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $978,628 to Neurotrainer, Inc. to conduct a feasibility and efficacy study of their "NeuroTrainer" virtual reality (VR) cognitive training intervention for students with and without attention-related difficulties. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the NeuroTrainer approach, which integrates physical activity, prolonged...
This $127,305 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to investigate the role of frontal parvalbumin interneuron maturation in the development of attentional abilities from adolescence to adulthood. The research aims to characterize how the maturation of these specific neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex of the frontal lobe is associated with the synchronization of neural...
This $809,312 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to characterize circadian function and sleep disturbances among children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The primary objectives are to: 1) assess circadian function and sleep profiles in 250 ADHD children using gold-standard dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) measurement and wearable sensors; 2) examine...

The award was made to the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, a non-profit research organization, and will fund investigations into the neural mechanisms underlying...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $367,708 and awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA program 93.242 "Mental Health Research Grants", will support research investigating the functional connectivity of reward circuitry in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The research aims to: 1) Examine reward functional connectivity patterns in ASD and ADHD using machine learning and multivariate approaches, 2)...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $764,476 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop an integrated, portable sensor suite for tracking neural activity, physiological arousal, motor signals, and physical interactions in social environments. The goal is to improve the accuracy of determining the sources of inattention on an individual basis, enabling more targeted treatments for attention deficits that commonly occur in neurodevelopmental disorders. The 3-year project will leverage UCLA's expertise in neural oscillation tracking, privacy-preserving LIDAR/millimeter wave sensing, and multimodal data integration to create a scalable technology platform that can be deployed in mock and real-classroom learning activities. This research aims to delineate how visual attention circuitry and regulatory influences, such as arousal and motivation, interact in natural contexts to impact attention states.
