A $30 million grant over a five-year period from the National Institute of Health was bestowed upon UC San Diego (UCSD) researchers to deepen and expand longitudinal studies in childhood brain development.
Last year the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study was announced by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the NIH. The study was to hone in on pregnancy and early childhood development and how a variety of environmental factors such as environmental pollutants, prenatal substance exposure, and trauma affect the health of children in the long-term. Of interest also is how positive environments affect them as well.
The design of Letterheads should reflect the character and quality of the organization they represent so as to make the best impression.
A more precise set of goals includes, identifying windows of key brain development and optimizing brain-imaging protocols and technologies. Another target of the study is discovering how to more accurately predict future mental disorders and behavioral problems that can be traced back to environmental exposures and how best to prevent them from occurring.
UCSD working via the Center for Human Development will perform as the study administrative core in managing 25 study sites around the U.S. including one at the UCSD School of Medicine.
The HBCD study will coordinate with data being collected through the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, inaugurated in 2015 to record the brain development of 12,000 youngsters 9 or 10 years old for a decade.
