Input on the draft National Institute of Mental Health Strategic Plan for Research

Tomorrow is the final day to submit your feedback on the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Strategic Plan for Research. The goal of the Strategic Plan for Research is to accelerate progress in basic, translational, and clinical science. 

The 2020 Strategic Plan includes four goals that form a broad roadmap for the Institute’s priorities over the next five years, beginning with the fundamental science of the brain and behavior and continuing through to the public health impact of the research we support. Aimed at helping individuals living with mental illnesses and promoting both prevention and cure, NIMH’s high-level goals are as follows:

1. Define the Brain Mechanisms Underlying Complex Behaviors
2. Examine Mental Illness Trajectories Across the Lifespan
3. Strive for Prevention and Cures
4. Strengthen the Public Health Impact of NIMH-Supported Research
