The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is tasked with one of the most ambitious missions in science: understanding the complexities of the brain to improve the lives of those struggling with mental health disorders. With mental illnesses affecting nearly one in five adults in the United States, the stakes couldn’t be higher. But the NIMH’s goals go far beyond incremental improvements. Its research priorities aim to revolutionize the field by leveraging cutting-edge technology, personalized medicine, and advanced neuroanalytics.
