The Harvard Gazette spotlights the HBI Bipolar Disorder Seed Grant Program and the projects of 2025 grantees Paola Arlotta, Nao Uchida, and Louisa Sylvia. This program, launched in 2015, allows neuroscientists at Harvard to open new avenues of research advancing our basic understanding of bipolar disorder and its treatment. It has led to over 90 grants and five symposia to date. With combined gifts from the Dauten Family Foundation and  Sandra Lee Chen and Sidney Chen, the program has recently expanded and this year awarded 11 two-year grants for diverse projects spanning the realms of basic, translational and clinical research.
