New NIMH Strategic Plan Aims to Focus, Accelerate Mental Health Research

NIMH has issued a new Strategic Plan for Research, which updates the strategic objectives of its 2008 plan, with a focus on balancing the need for long-term investments in basic research with urgent mental health needs. The plan includes four strategic priorities which will guide the institute’s research for the next five years:

  1. Define the mechanisms of complex behaviors
  2. Chart mental illness trajectories to determine when, where, and how to intervene
  3. Strive for prevention and cures
  4. Strengthen the public health impact of NIMH-supported research
