In September 2016, Dr. Jane Roberts was awarded funding by the National Institute of Mental Health for the project entitled: Emergence, Stability and Predictors of Anxiety in Fragile X Syndrome. It is the first longitudinal developmental study of the early features of anxiety in very young boys with FXS contrasted to boys diagnosed with ASD (non-FXS) and typical controls. The study analyzes the age which initial features of anxiety can be detected and the stability and prognostic value of these early symptoms. Our lab is eager to start work on this exciting new project!!

Infant Grant from NIH approved for Extension!

Tags : autism award fragile x syndrome jane roberts NIH uscdevlab

In 2011, Dr. Roberts was the recipient of a five year NIH R01 grant entitled “Emergence and Stability of Autism in Fragile X Syndrome.” In this study, Dr. Roberts and her team analyzed the behavior of infants who were at high risk for developing autism. She has now been awarded 3.1 million dollars from NIH to follow-up of these infants and track their development into their preschool years! With this new award, the team at the Neurodevelopmental Lab will be able to follow the development of the infants from 9 months-of-age to 5 years-of-age and identify which features during infancy were predictive of developmental delays in the infants at high risk for developmental impairments. This information will then be translated to efforts targeting early identification and treatment.
