Grants

Aging of working memory: Biophysical, neural, and cognitive components - National Institute on Aging - The purpose of this grant is to develop new interpopulation fMRI measurement methods and to elucidate the cognitive changes that
accompany normal aging. (NIH # 5R01AG029523-02)

2010 Friends of Brainhealth Distinguished New Scientist Award - This grants funds an investigation of the neural bases of working memory decline in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) by using functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to understand the contribution of both brain function and brain structure to memory declines in MCI.

2009 Friends of Brainhealth Distinguished New Scientist Award - This grants funds a comprehensive investigation of the neural basis for Multiple Sclerosis by using neuroimaging and behavorial techniques to characterize the structural, functional and
behavioral changes of the disease.

Attention and executive function in the cortical and subcortical circuitry of Gulf War Veterans – Veteran’s Administration Large Grant - The purpose of this grant is to explore the neural substrates of Gulf-War related cognitive change.

A pattern-based analysis of neural mediators of working memory deficits in Autism.
This grant is to develop new methods and techniques for fMRI data collection and analysis that will elucidate cognitive and neural changes related to Autism.
