The CRC will gain experience interacting with AYAs with eating disorders, as well as hands-on experience with cognitive neuroscience methods (fMRI, neurocognitive tasks), clinical interviews (EPSI-CRV), and ambulatory assessments (EMA, neurocog tasks).

My lab is running 2 studies in the space of developmental computational psychiatry & eating disorders. One examines the neurocognitive underpinnings of risky decision-making and their links to real-world symptoms in AYAs, and the other examines the development of exploration in AYAs.

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

I have confirmation from several sources now that all T32s, many F30s and F31s, and most or all Center awards (P30, P50) have been terminated at Columbia.

This is quite damaging to research and to individuals.
