Conte Center
The Baby Brain & Behavior Project is largely funded by a Silvio O. Conte Center grant for Basic and Translational Mental Health Research (P50 MH100031).
Silvio Ottavio Conte (November 9, 1921 – February 8, 1991) was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 16 terms, from January 3, 1959, until his death. He was a passionate advocate for federal research, and the National Institute of Health continues to honor him today with grants for neurological research awarded in his name. The funding is intended to support research projects with extraordinary potential for advancing research on mental health.
The Conte’s Administration Core coordinates training activities and interfaces with three existing training (T32) grants to enhance the education of graduate students in neuroscience, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, medical physics, and cellular biology. The Administration Core also includes an Undergraduate Summer Research Program and Summer Workshop.
Infrastructure support is provided by the Waisman Center through a Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) grant, P30 HD003352.
