Targeting adolescent depression symptoms using network-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback and mindfulness meditation
Adolescents experience alarmingly high rates of major depressive disorder (MDD), and these episodes are highly recurrent and increase suicide risk. Recently, the U.S. Surgeon General and leading pediatric health organizations declared a national state of emergency for adolescent mental health, underscoring that the majority of affected adolescents do not receive adequate treatment. As gold-standard depression treatments (antidepressant medications and cognitive behavioral therapy) are effective for only ~50% of adolescents, there is a critical need to develop novel treatments to improve clinical outcomes, particularly those that target core mechanisms fundamental to MDD. Rumination (i.e., repetitive, negative patterns of thinking typically focused on the self) contributes to MDD onset, maintenance, and recurrence as well as predicts treatment non-response and relapse. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to suppress the default mode network (DMN), a set of brain regions that are overactive in depression and that underlie rumination. We are launching a large scale, clinical trial to do a mindfulness based real-time fMRI neurofeedback intervention in adolescents with MDD in order to quiet the DMN and mitigate rumination.

Time-locked psychophysics: speeded responses to visual stimuli
The project will use variations on a classic method called response time (RT) measurement, which has human participants respond as quickly as possible to the presentation of carefully-controlled visual patterns. One goal is to demonstrate that the fastest RTs are triggered by the very early responses in the photoreceptors of the retina of the eye. Two parallel pathways in the visual system called ON and OFF pathways, generate opposite-polarity responses. A second goal is to test the hypothesis that these two pathways can be measured and studied separately using these speeded behavioral responses

CAREER: Sedimentary signatures of large riverine floods to constrain risk and build resiliency
The traditional paradigm in river and floodplain management relies almost exclusively on stream gage measurements as the key dataset informing flood hazard assessments, while largely neglecting the geomorphic dynamics and resulting sedimentary records preserved in floodplains. This project builds on prior work in the development and application of stratigraphic records in floodplains by harnessing recent advances in hydraulic modeling, environmental sensors, and sedimentology to constrain flood hazard assessments. This research is integrated with an education and outreach plan designed to attract, motivate, and train community college students in geoscience research through an established internship program.

Disease-homing light delivery by engineering bioluminescent immune cells for whole body precision photomedicine
Photomedicine avoids traditional side effects of systemic chemotherapy, yet effective outcomes are dependent on direct irradiation from an external light source that limits the scope and the types of cancers that may be treated. This proposal develops a precision photomedicine platform that exploits natural disease-homing properties of the immune system to mediate bioluminescence-activated phototherapy in combination with established technology to deliver photoactive therapeutic agents selectively to tumor cells. Successful, proof-of-concept studies will establish a new paradigm of systemic, whole-body phototherapy by enabling immune cell-based light delivery to deep and diffuse metastatic disease that would otherwise be impractical to treat using an external light source, thereby overcoming a major limitation of conventional phototherapy.

Repurposing Gram-positive Antibiotics for Gram-Negative Bacteria using Antibiotic Adjuvants
The multidrug-resistant (MDR) sepsis pathogen Acinetobacter baumanni presents an enormous ongoing challenge to public health. Current treatment options for infections with these bacteria are extremely limited. Our research examines a class of small molecules called antibiotic adjuvants that greatly boost the activity of several existing antibiotics against A. baumanniim, with the goal of developing new combination approaches to treat MDR infections.

Sex-dependent pain processing circuitry in classical Pavlovian fear conditioning
Traumatic experiences create powerful memories by linking information about the trauma itself with environmental cues associated with the event. Our lab has found evidence that males and females may form these memories using different brain regions, and this grant will allow us to probe this question more deeply by recording neural activity in real time as animals are learning.

The goals of this award are first to design and validate a scalable, affordable hardware-software package that reliably measures brain function via EEG in babies over the first two years of life. Second, in multi-country studies using this EEG system, we will establish which measures of early brain function track healthy developmental changes associated with early cognitive and language development across contexts and are sensitive to pre- and postnatal risk factors for brain development. Finally, we will establish which EEG measures of brain function are robust enough to serve as biomarkers to evaluate clinical intervention trial efficacy in early life.

Riverine flooding is a perennial hazard in the heavily populated Northeastern United States, and improving near- and long-term forecasts of flooding in this region is of critical importance for regional water resource management, infrastructure planning, and fisheries. In this project, we will harness advances in climate reanalysis and modeling to (i) identify the ocean-atmosphere patterns that generate flooding in New England and (ii) evaluate the contribution of greenhouse forcing on flood-generating mechanisms in this region.

Graph theory - the mathematical study of networks has originally developed as a part of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. This has changed significantly in the past 20 years following discoveries of connections to Linear Algebra and later to Geometry and even to Real Analysis. The goal of this project is to find new applications to, as well as expand the scope of, these connections.
Michele Di Pierro
The aim of the project is to gain mechanistic understanding of the relationships among non-coding genomic variation, phenotype, and disease. To achieve this aim, researchers will combine data from DNA-DNA proximity ligation assays and multiple genome alignments to extract coevolutionary information about DNA elements and to infer the network of functional interactions among them.
Fabian Ruehle
String theory has evolved into one of the most complex theories devised by mankind to date. Its goal is to describe our Universe from the smallest to the largest scales.

Auditory hallucinations are one of the five cardinal symptoms of schizophrenia and one of the most distressing. Almost a third of patients experiencing auditory hallucinations are not responsive to gold-standard pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment. We have pioneered a new non-invasive treatment candidate, computational neuroscience-based approach, also known as network-based real-time functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Neurofeedback that is a well-tolerated and effective approach for reducing the severity and frequency of auditory hallucinations. However, because this technique currently requires fMRI to deliver neurofeedback, which unfortunately is an expensive procedure involving a complex setup and participant burden, this NIH award will help develop novel, non-invasive, personalized, and scalable treatments that will improve outcomes and reduce relapse rates among schizophrenia patients with treatment resistant auditory hallucinations.

Salt marshes provide an important line of defense against nutrient pollution by intercepting watershed nitrogen before it enters estuaries. This nitrogen can enhance the growth of marsh plants, however some forms of nitrogen can also be used by microbes, who use it to decompose organic matter in low-oxygen sediments. Understanding which of these two outcomes is most likely to occur is important because, if marsh plants take up that nitrogen and grow more robustly, this will increase salt marsh resilience to sea-level rise. On the other hand, if microbes use that nitrogen for respiration, it could accelerate loss of organic matter, thereby decreasing resilience. This project combines field and greenhouse experiments to tease apart the relative importance of different N forms on the plant and microbial communities that ultimately dictate salt marsh resilience.
Max Bi
To answer this question, Dapeng “Max” Bi (COS-Physics) has been awarded a collaborative HFSP grant with Friedhelm Serwane (LMU Munich, Germany) and Tamal Das (Tata Institute for Fundamental Research Hyderabad, India). Together, the team will develop a biomechanical understanding of the epidermis, which is critical for preventing and curing numerous skin defects, painful blistering, and skin cancers.
The International Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) organization supports novel, innovative and interdisciplinary basic research focused on the complex mechanisms of living organisms. The award is highly competitive, and this year only four percent of the applicants were selected for funding.

Addressing collective action problems such as climate change requires individuals to engage in a host of coordinated behaviors to effect widespread systemic changes. Yet, while most people are concerned about climate change, they systematically underestimate others’ concern, which can inhibit action toward addressing collective challenges. Drawing on interdisciplinary research, this project uses mixed methods to develop and test an integrative framework illuminating drivers of pervasive social misperceptions and pathways for correcting these biases.
Albert-László Barabási
Healthy debate is a cornerstone of scientific progress, but no one really knows when, how, and why these debates in science happen. In our funded research, we will use new computational techniques to automatically identify debates across the entire published scientific literature. We will study these debates to understand the role of disagreement in science and find policies that harness the power of debate to increase the pace of scientific discovery.
Sam Munoz
The degradation and transport of plastics has led to its accumulation across a range of environments, but a key component of the plastic-carbon cycle — namely the transport and storage of microplastics through rivers and floodplains — remains poorly constrained. Understanding where and why plastics accumulate along rivers and floodplains is critical for mitigating and managing plastic pollution because rivers connect plastics production and use upstream to coasts and the open ocean. This project will analyze soil samples to quantify the amount and types microplastics found in different floodplain environments, and relate patterns of plastic accumulation to environmental parameters.
Aron Stubbins
To slow climate change we need to stop burning fossil fuels and to find ways to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When kelp and other macroalgae grow, they store carbon in their biomass, but they also continuously release organic carbon into ocean waters. The current project aims to understand whether this released organic carbon is also stored, not in the seaweeds themselves, but in the deep sea. Understanding what happens to all the carbon seaweeds capture is critical to Running Tide technologies that seek to use macroalgae to remove sufficient carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to help slow or reduce climate change.
David DeSteno
The John Templeton Foundation has awarded a $1 million grant to Professor David DeSteno to support his PRX Podcast “How God Works.” The podcast, which brings a scientific eye to examining how and why spiritual practices foster human flourishing, has appeared on Apple’s Top Ten List for science podcasts, and was recognized with honoree status by the Webby Awards in the Science Education category during its first year. The new grant will fund it for 4 more 8-episode seasons and provide funds for several live events to be held in cities across the US.

HIV-1 integrates its genome into infected host cells. Due to the permanence of the integrated genome, it is advantageous to target HIV-1 replication in early stages, before integration. To rationally design new inhibitors of these early replication steps, a detailed molecular understanding is required. This work proposes integrated biochemical, biophysical, and cellular approaches to probe critical steps in early viral replication.
