Misophonia Research Fund

Congratulations to our Cycle 6 Misophonia Research Impact Awardees! In Dr. Woynaroski's project, she will determine key biological hallmarks of decreased sound tolerance in childhood, which can inform the development of early detection and early intervention strategies for children with #misophonia.

The Misophonia Research Fund Announces Groundbreaking Research Investment of $12M+: Welcomes New Cohort of Grantees and Launches New Seed Data Grant 👉 https://buff.ly/48yqyR0 The Misophonia Research Fund, an initiative of the REAM FOUNDATION, is thrilled to announce its new 2024 grantees and the launch of the 2025 grant opportunities! 🎉 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Misophonia Research Fund awardee Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai's Parul Jain, PhD, who will conduct research to examine the impact of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on symptoms of misophonia, as well as to all of the new 2024 grantees. In line with its mission to support scientific breakthroughs, the MRF’s investment has led to significant progress in understanding misophonia, a disorder characterized by decreased tolerance and strong negative emotional, physiological, and behavioral reactions to specific “trigger” sounds.

Exciting News at the Misophonia Research Fund: We’re thrilled to announce our newest cohort of grantees! This group of researchers is delving into the causes, mechanisms, and potential treatments for misophonia, offering hope to those with this often-misunderstood disorder. There's more: our 2025 call for research proposals is now open! We are currently seeking innovative proposals focused on better understanding misophonia, diagnosing individuals who have the disorder, and assessing treatment strategies. In addition to our Misophonia Research Impact Award providing funding of up to $500,000, we are excited to announce the launch of our new Misophonia Data Discovery Award focused on providing seed funding of up to $75,000.

How do scientists figure out the importance of measures used in a questionnaire? MRF funded and affiliated investigators and their team at Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation (with Duke Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences) used a network analysis on the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ) to identify which questions are most central to misophonia.

Exciting news! An interesting study on #misophonia is on its way to being published. This study is studying how measuring eyeball pupillary response can help us test #misophonic reactions. The preprint title is "The impact of disgusting sounds on pupil diameter of misophonic and non-misophonic listeners." by by Urszula Oszczapinska , Sungjoon Park, Yuqi Qiu, Bridget Nance, Megan Julien, and Laurie Heller This study was funded by Misophonia Research Fund and also a soQuiet Misophonia Student #Research grant.

Our #MRFAnnualMeeting connected many #misophonia researchers together to discuss their work, along with trainees and other members of the #MisophoniaResearch community. Grace Heppes, Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation's Outreach & Education Coordinator, was one of those attendees and shares her enthusiasm for the possibilities that the future holds for the field.

New #MisophoniaResearch Alert! Our Funded Investigator Dr. Michael Twohig and his team at Utah State University test out the first randomized control trial (RCT) for acceptance and commitment therapy in adults with #misophonia. Read their paper to learn more: https://buff.ly/4hdPhOc

Bridging art and science brings a powerful new perspective. Last week at our #MRFAnnualMeeting, we featured artists with #misophonia to not only highlight their talent, but also deepen our understanding of the #misophonia experience. Their unique insights contributed to important conversations between #MisophoniaResearchers focused on incorporating the lived experience perspective into scientific research.
