NIH K23 Project

Dr. Johnstone has received a NIH grant to increase diversity in our participant population to ensure results generalizability to all children with ADHD.

Waterloo Microbiome Grant

Dr. Jeni Johnstone has received a grant to assess the fecal microbiome and metabolome of the MADDY study participants, resulting in one publication on changes after micronutrients compared to placebo and changes in responders to micronutrients (Read our results in Gut Microbes). Ongoing work is assessing the comparison between the microbiome and metabolome as it relates to ADHD symptoms and diet quality. 

Psychology Department Seed Money Grants

Two grants have been awarded to our lab from the Department of Psychology at OHSU.

• Dr. Bruton is currently assessing the cortisol levels of hair samples from the MADDY study.
• Dr. Ast is currently assessing the herbicide glyphosate in urine samples as it relates to diet and the MADDY study. 

Genetics and Methylation Pathways

Our Canadian partners, lead by Dr. Brenda Leung, are looking into the genetics and epigenetics of MADDY study samples.
