CURRENT:
National Science Foundation, BCS-0843346 “The Human Stress Response: Interaction of Life Stress History and Genetic Variation on Behavior, Brain Function, and the (Epi-)Genome” Turhan Canli, P.I. (20% academic year, 25% summer) $882,000, 7/24/09-8/31/12 The goal of this study is to investigate gene by environment interactions on individual differences in stress reactivity in behavior, brain circuits, and gene expression and epigenetic markers within these brain circuits.
SBU-BNL Seed Grant
“The neurogenetics of impulsivity: individual differences within the dopamine transporter (DAT)
gene assessed with PET and fMRI”
Turhan Canli, P.I.
$24,000, 6/1/2005-5/31/2010
The goal is to combine PET and fMRI neuroimaging to determine the distribution and functional
activation of the dopamine transporter (DAT) system, and to relate individual differences DAT
distribution with genetic variation in the DAT gene.
National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Aging, 1 R01 AG034578-01
“Gene-Environment Interactions in Loneliness and Stress Reactivity in Older Adults”
Turhan Canli, P.I.
$2,350,000, 6/24/2009-8/31/2014
This project uses a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, and postmortem whole genome
expression analyses to investigate gene regulation changes as a function of psychosocial stress
(loneliness) in the elderly.

National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Aging “(Epi-) Genetics of Economic Phenotype in Older Adults” Turhan Canli, P.I. $1,212,000, 12/15/2010-12/14/2013 This project investigates associations between individual differences in risk aversion and temporal discounting as a function of peripheral (blood) and CNS whole-genome gene expression, and its molecular regulatory mechanisms.
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Germany)
“Gene environment interaction effects of genetic variability and early life stress on psychosocial
stress reactivity"
Sponsor of Dr. Anett Mueller
1/1/2010-6/30/2011
This project will investigate the role of early life stress and candidate genes or environmentally
plasticity in the context of individual differences in social stress reactivity.
National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Aging, KO1 AG033182-02
“The Economics and Psychology of Self-Control”
Co-Advisor to Angela Lee Duckworth (Main Adviser: Jim Heckman, Economics, University of
Chicago)
2009-2014
This project is designed to integrate an interdisciplinary research program on self-control and
other capacities that determine economic, social and health outcomes across the life course.
National Institutes of Health. Ruth L. Kirchstein National Research Service Award.
“The Neurogenetic Basis of Behavioral Inhibition"
Sponsor of Eliza Congdon
9/1/06-5/30/08
This project tested the hypothesis that variants of two dopamine system-related genetic polymorphisms (DAT and COMT) influence the neural network underlying behavioral inhibition, a more direct expression of impulsivity.
PAST:
National Science Foundation, OIA #0722874
“Acquisition of a Research-dedicated Magnetic Resonance Scanner at Stony Brook University”
Turhan Canli, P.I.
$ 1,918,878, 08/31/2007-08/30/2009
This is a major research instrumentation application to bring a research-dedicated fMRI scanner
to Stony Brook. At the current time, Stony Brook does not have such a facility, forcing a number
of faculty to scan elsewhere.
GCRC#MO1RR10710
“Neurogenetic Correlates of Psychosocial Stress”
Turhan Canli, P.I.
$24,000, 10/1/2008-12/31/2009
The goal of this project is to measure gene expression in postmortem human brain tissue, using
the Affymetrix Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array.
National Science Foundation, BCS-0224221
“FMRI of Hormonal Variation in Cognitive-Affective Processing”
Turhan Canli, P.I. (25% academic year, 75% summer)
$638,658, 9/15/02-8/31/08
The goal of this study is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate the
role of ovarian steroids in brain activation patterns during cognitive-affective processing. A
secondary goal is to relate individual differences in brain activation to genetic variation and
hormonal state.
National Institute of Health, 1R13-MH067835-01A1
“Biological Basis of Personality and Individual Differences” (Funding for 3-day conference)
Turhan Canli, P.I.
$49,700 total direct cost, conference to be held 9/1-9/4/04
Research on the biological basis of personality and individual differences has been catalyzed by
recent methodological advances in genetics and neuroscience. This conference will offer a forum
for interactions between psychologists and biologically oriented researchers who share an
interest in personality and individual differences and will feature nineteen clinicians, geneticists,
psychologists, and neuroscientists from the United States, South America, Europe, and Australia.
National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD)
“Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Social Phobia”
Turhan Canli, Fellow (10% during academic year)
$60,000 total direct cost 7/1/2001 – 6/30/2004
The major goal of this project is to evaluate the role of the amygdala in SP, using functional
magnetic resonance imaging.
