We welcome your feedback to help shape the future of mental health research

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Input on the draft National Institute of Mental Health Strategic Plan for Research We welcome your feedback to help guide the future of mental health research efforts and priorities at NIMH. Every five years, NIMH publishes a Strategic Plan for Research to accelerate progress in basic, translational, and clinical science. We have made huge strides in understanding and treating mental illnesses through basic and clinical research since the last Strategic Plan was published in 2015, and now we're looking ahead to the next five years. 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: Define the Brain Mechanisms Underlying Complex Behaviors Examine Mental Illness Trajectories Across the Lifespan Strive for Prevention and Cures Strengthen the Public Health Impact of NIMH-Supported Research Read the Draft Plan HOW TO SUBMIT FEEDBACK Members of the public are invited to provide comments through January 1, 2020.
