This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $2,415,243 to The Broad Institute, Inc. to develop a scalable, cloud-based framework for multi-modal mapping across single neuron omics, morphology, and electrophysiology. The framework aims to enable integrative, data-driven characterization of brain cell types, leveraging federated Brain Initiative resources and community engagement....
This $21.4 million cooperative agreement from the National Institute of Mental Health will fund research to identify gene regulatory elements that can target and manipulate specific neuronal cell types and brain circuits across species, including in human organoids. Awarded on September 1, 2022 to the Broad Institute, Inc. with completion by August 31, 2025, the funding supports the Mental Health Research Grants program. The Broad Institute and collaborators at Harvard University will profile...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded a three-year Project Grant totaling $3,618,976 to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop in situ single-cell multi-omic and morphological profiling methods for mammalian brains. Specifically, the university will work to design photonic-indexing sequencing strategies to spatially barcode tissue with single-cell resolution, integrating techniques such as PI-ATAC-seq and...
This three-year, $3.456 million project grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund research into the role of microglia in neurodevelopmental disorders. The grantee, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, will merge two-photon imaging of microglia and synapses in the brains of live mice with single-cell genomics and CRISPR screens. This will help define microglia's role in experience-dependent synaptic refinement, a process...
This $1.8 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health will fund the development of high-throughput methods for measuring synaptic connectivity at single-cell resolution in the cerebral cortex. Over a three-year period from September 2022 through August 2025, The Broad Institute, Inc. will pursue viral, functional, and molecular approaches to map local cortical circuitry. These include optimizing rabies-based trans-synaptic tracing for...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health will fund $2,668,158 to integrate structural and functional datasets to understand how neural structure enables function in the mouse visual cortex. The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco will analyze the largest calcium imaging dataset collected to date from an entire column in mouse primary visual cortex, comprising volumetric 2-photon and 3-photon imaging recordings...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded $3,132,666 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. The three-year project grant will support development of novel anterograde transneuronal viral vector systems to map neuronal circuitry and functionally control gene expression in specific neuron types. Researchers will construct self-contained versions of the Yellow Fever virus YFV-17D vector to...
The Scripps Research Institute was awarded a $4.6 million project grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to develop novel tools for molecular profiling of brain cell types. The grant is part of NIMH's Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), which supports basic and clinical research to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses. Under the award, Scripps will expand its RIBO-STAMP technology to enable comprehensive measurement of translational...
This $2,576,654 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support the development of a cloud-based software platform and advanced computational pipelines to harmonize and integrate spatial transcriptomics data for the construction of a spatially resolved brain atlas. Key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) Creating a cloud-based platform to standardize the analysis and visualization of...
This federal Project Grant award by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is designed to enhance the delivery of non-viral, neuron-specific molecules across species in the central nervous system. The $821,998 award to the University of Texas at Dallas will fund a comprehensive effort to characterize the neuron-targeting capabilities of a novel 15-amino acid peptide, N1, and optimize its stability and delivery, including...
