<li><strong>NIMH’s Response to COVID-19</strong>: As we approach the end of the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, NIMH continues to <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/COVID-Related.cfm#active" rel="external">support research <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> on the effects of the pandemic, including the <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-MH-21-330.html" rel="external">social, behavioral, and economic changes <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> that continue to impact public health. NIMH is committed to supporting those hardest hit by the pandemic, including children. In a recent <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="72d649fd-b717-4a9b-8e69-eee7af2d99c5" href="/about/director/messages/2021/supporting-kids-mental-health-during-covid-19">NIMH Director’s Message</a>, Dr. Gordon described strategies to support the mental health of children and adolescents as they navigate the myriad disruptions and stressors posed by the pandemic. Additionally, NIMH continues to provide <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="4c5b0de0-8cee-4ca9-bfb8-7b4d3ac0f5ea" href="/get-involved/digital-shareables/shareable-resources-on-coping-with-covid-19">resources on coping with COVID-19</a> and share updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such as the recent notification that having certain mental disorders, including <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html" rel="external">depression and schizophrenia <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, can make people more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines (initial doses and boosters) and mitigation measures can help save lives and protect the most vulnerable, including those who are older, have certain mental disorders, or have other health conditions noted by the CDC.</li>

This article also highlights the results of strategies to find scientific solutions to addressing the nation’s opioid crisis. The urgency to address the crisis has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, as deaths from drug overdose <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2021/20210714.htm" rel="external">rose 30 percent in 2020 <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>.</li>

<li><strong>New Requirement for BRAIN Initiative Applicants: Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP)</strong>:<strong> </strong>NIH recognizes that diverse teams working together and capitalizing on innovative ideas and distinct perspectives outperform homogeneous teams. With this in mind, the BRAIN Initiative issued a <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-MH-21-310.html" rel="external">Notice <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> informing applicants of a new requirement to submit a PEDP as part of their grant application, when specified.</li>

<ul>
|

<li>On December 2, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden visited NIH to <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/covidplan/" rel="external">announce the administration’s action plan <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> for battling COVID-19 over the winter months. The plan covers six key strategies: vaccinating the unvaccinated, further protecting the vaccinated, keeping schools safely open, increasing testing and requiring masking, protecting our economic recovery, and improving care for those with COVID-19. President Biden also celebrated NIH’s efforts to support COVID-19 mitigation measures and develop life-saving vaccines.</li>
|
||
<li>On November 4, 2021, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, HHS Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm, and members of their staff <a href="https://directorsblog.nih.gov/tag/vrc/" rel="external">came to the NIH campus <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>. Secretary Becerra and his team visited the NIH Clinical Center, where they learned about cutting-edge cancer research, met with a patient, and heard from NIH leadership. They also toured NIH’s Dale and Betty Bumpers Vaccine Research Center and attended a briefing on coronavirus vaccine development.</li>

<li>On December 19, 2021, <a href="https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/francis-collins-step-down-director-national-institutes-health" rel="external">Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D. <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, stepped down from his role as the Director of the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Collins was the longest serving presidentially appointed NIH Director, having served three U.S. Presidents over more than 12 years. President Biden described Dr. Collins as “<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/10/05/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-dr-francis-collins-stepping-down-as-director-of-the-national-institutes-of-health/" rel="external">one of the most important scientists of our time <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>,” and Dr. Collins’ impact has been felt throughout the scientific community and beyond. During his tenure as NIH Director, Dr. Collins established bold initiatives, such as the <a href="https://allofus.nih.gov/" rel="external"><em>All of US </em>Research Program <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, the <a href="https://heal.nih.gov/" rel="external">HEAL Initiative <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, and the <a href="https://braininitiative.nih.gov/" rel="external">BRAIN Initiative <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, to tackle some of the most pressing health issues facing Americans. Dr. Collins also bolstered policies and activities to address sexual harassment and structural racism in the biomedical research community. Prior to becoming the NIH Director, Dr. Collins served as the Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) for 15 years, where he led the international <a href="https://www.genome.gov/human-genome-project" rel="external">Human Genome Project <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>. Dr. Collins will remain a member of the NIH community, leading his research laboratory at NHGRI where he studies causes and means of preventing type 2 diabetes. Lawrence Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., will serve at the Acting NIH Director until President Biden appoints Dr. Collins’ successor.</li>

<li>On September 30, 2021, NIH announced the retirement of <a href="https://obssr.od.nih.gov/news-and-events/news/retirement-william-t-riley-phd-nih-associate-director-behavioral-and-social" rel="external">William Riley, Ph.D. <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, Director of the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research (OBSSR) and NIH Associate Director for Behavioral and Social Science Research (BSSR). During his time as Director, Dr. Riley significantly advanced understanding of BSSR and integrated BSSR into broader biomedical research efforts. The integration of BSSR with the neuroscience, genetics, and “omics” fields is beginning to shed light on the many complex interactions between the brain, behavior, and environment. Christine M. Hunter, Ph.D., Deputy Director of OBSSR, will serve as Acting Director of OBSSR and Acting NIH Associate Director for BSSR while a search is conducted.</li>

<li>The figure below shows the NIMH budget in appropriated (current) versus constant (FY 2010) dollars (excludes 21st Century Cures funding). Constant dollars are “inflation adjusted” for variations in the purchasing power of the dollar over time. Dollar amounts are adjusted based on the Biomedical Research and Development Price Index (BRDPI). The annual change in BRDPI indicates how much the NIH budget must change to maintain purchasing power similar to FY 2010. NIMH has received several increases in appropriation over the past decade and actual purchasing power has increased 9.6 percent since FY 2010.</li>

<li><strong>Outlook for FY 2022:</strong> NIMH remains in a continuing resolution (CR) through February 18, 2022. While operating under a CR, non-competing grants will be awarded at levels below the committed amounts, typically at 90 percent. On July 12, 2021, the House Appropriations Subcommittee <a href="https://appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/appropriations-subcommittee-approves-fiscal-year-2022-labor-health-and-human" rel="external">approved an FY 2022 funding bill <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>. The House bill would authorize $2.223 billion for NIMH, an increase of 5.7 percent over FY 2021 appropriations. On October 18, 2021 the Senate Appropriations Committee <a href="https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/LHHS1.pdf" rel="external">released the FY 2022 funding bill <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>. The Senate bill would authorize $2.219 billion for NIMH, an increase of 5.5 percent over FY 2021 appropriations and would specifically authorize $25 million to expand research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health.</li>

<li>NIMH is sad to announce the passing of two former employees:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Mortimer Mishkin, Ph.D.</strong>, former Chief of the NIMH IRP Laboratory of Neuropsychology and one of NIH’s preeminent cognitive neuroscientists. Dr. Mishkin worked at NIMH for more than six decades, where his foundational research elucidated the pathways through which vision, hearing, and touch connect with brain structures to encode memory. Dr. Mishkin received many accolades over the course of his career, including election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1984 and the National Academy of Medicine in 1990. In 2010, Dr. Mishkin was honored with the prestigious National Medal of Science, making him one of only three NIH scientists to receive this award to date. He will be remembered for his incredible contributions to cognitive neuroscience, as well as his commitment to mentorship and support of women scientists.</li>
|
||
<li>Over the years, <strong>David Shore, M.D.</strong>, served NIMH in many capacities. He began as a researcher and later took on roles such as Acting Director of DSIR, Acting Director of the Division of Clinical and Treatment Research, and finally, NIMH Associate Director for Clinical Research. One of his many roles as the Associate Director for Clinical Research was to serve as the Scientific Administrator of NIMH Data and Safety Monitoring Boards, which assure the safety of research participants and the integrity of the valuable research data collected. Dr. Shore’s contributions have been recognized through several awards, including NAMI’s Exemplary Psychiatrist Award. He will be remembered for his lifelong commitment to advancing bioethics and improving the protection of research participants.</li>

<h3 id="part_10246_2">Notable NIMH Grants</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The following is a selection of the Institute’s most recently funded projects that exemplify our efforts to accelerate research on mental illnesses, and to achieve the research goals outlined in the <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="7db249bf-8c01-4a5b-b70e-2aedc818e0f7" href="/about/strategic-planning-reports">NIMH Strategic Plan for Research</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Microglia, a type of immune cell in the brain, are known to modulate connections between neurons. However, it is unclear how microglia influence the formation and functions of neural networks. With funding from the NIMH Division of Neuroscience and Basic Behavioral Sciences, <strong><a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/hURxzWsFJUexB49-RUEjcA/project-details/10334801" rel="external">Jordan Hamm, Ph.D. <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a></strong> (Georgia State University), plans to explore interactions between microglia and neurons in the developing prefrontal cortex (PFC), an area of the brain that underlies cognitive function. Using a combination of genetic, pharmacological, neural recording, and behavioral techniques, Dr. Hamm aims to determine if microglia guide neural circuit development and behavior. Further, he intends to examine sex differences in microglia-neuron interactions. Clarifying how sex modulates the role of microglia in the PFC during development is critical, as there are known sex differences in the emergence of adolescent onset psychiatric disorders affecting cognitive, social, and emotional domains.</li>
|
||
<li>Suicide rates have been steadily rising in the U.S. for the past two decades. While recent progress has been made in bending the curve of this trajectory, much work remains to save lives. With support from the NIMH Division of Translational Research, <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/K6rUh6vgGkOQc5wU5RXV4g/project-details/10263271" rel="external"><strong>Nolan Williams, M.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Stanford University), plans to test the efficacy and safety of personalized, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS; which uses magnets to activate specific parts of the brain) for reducing suicidal thoughts in patients hospitalized in psychiatric units. The approach Dr. Williams developed is called the Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), and preliminary studies indicate that SAINT induces remission in 90 percent of individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Further, SAINT-induced remission was associated with significant reductions in suicidal ideation. This study may help researchers understand and regulate the neural circuitry that underlies suicidal thoughts, along with contributing factors such as hopelessness, anhedonia, and depression.</li>
|
||
<li>Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a life-threatening and costly illness. Individuals with severe AN are often treated in an acute care setting, but relapse following discharge is common. The NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research recently funded three studies focused on testing post-acute interventions designed to prevent relapse for individuals with AN. <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/dQHBZqrlVE-kumD20Z3SWg/project-details/10289781" rel="external"><strong>Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft</strong><strong>, Ph.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Washington University in St. Louis), plans to test the effectiveness of a coach-guided cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based mobile app to reduce residual symptoms among individuals recently discharged from acute care. The app aims to facilitate the delivery of evidence-based treatment and thereby increase access to high-quality therapy for better long-term outcomes. <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/7C5Uo5XlIkyxkMZ4OzTfXQ/project-details/10284797" rel="external"><strong>Kelsie Forbush, Ph.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (University of Kansas, Lawrence), developed Smart Treatment for Anorexia Recovery (STAR), a suite of digital tools to assess AN, predict risk for relapse, and support clinical decision-making in the post-acute treatment window. Dr. Forbush now plans to adapt these tools for mobile health (mHealth) delivery, making it possible for clinicians to be alerted when their patients are at high risk for relapse. <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/hZ_9ghzTxE6DiIZuHFx6_g/project-details/10288420" rel="external"><strong>Joanna Steinglass, M.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, and <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/hZ_9ghzTxE6DiIZuHFx6_g/project-details/10288420" rel="external"><strong>Evelyn Attia, M.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Columbia University), aim to optimize Relapse Prevention and Changing Habits (REACH+), a telehealth intervention that targets entrenched thoughts, feelings, and habits in individuals with AN. Drs. Steinglass and Attia hope to determine which elements of the intervention are most strongly associated with improved clinical outcomes, with the goal of developing a streamlined treatment for use during the post-acute treatment period.</li>

<li>Brain pericytes are cells that regulate blood flow in the central nervous system (CNS) and are a vital component in maintaining the stability of the blood-brain barrier. These cells are also known to play a role in the brain’s immune function; however, some recent studies suggest that brain pericytes may be able to become infected with HIV and contribute to the formation of HIV reservoirs in the CNS. With support from the NIMH Division of AIDS Research, <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/nsd3tCVsIEW74wz97AYpLg/project-details/10327440" rel="external"><strong>Michal Toborek, M.D., Ph.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (University of Miami), aims to confirm reports of HIV-infected brain pericytes, characterize the extent of the infection, and determine functional outcome of infection in these cells. The focus on brain pericytes makes this research particularly innovative and novel, as these cells have only recently been hypothesized to harbor HIV. The outcomes of this study could help researchers identify treatment targets for eradicating HIV from the CNS.</li>
