<li id="part_10812_1a"><strong>NIMH Releases a Strategic Framework for Addressing Youth Mental Health Disparities for Fiscal Years (FY) 2022&ndash;2031</strong>: On February 1, 2023, NIMH released its <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="a397f027-7001-4e9b-8dbc-052f2a4c598b" href="/health/publications/nimh-strategic-framework-for-addressing-youth-mental-health">Strategic Framework for Addressing Youth Mental Health Disparities</a> to help guide NIMH activities, including research funding, stakeholder engagement, and workforce development related to research on the mental health needs of youth impacted by racial and ethnic health disparities. Informed by researchers and care providers across the country, this Strategic Framework is a living document that summarizes NIMH&rsquo;s plans and priorities for guiding research to address and reduce mental health disparities among underserved and underrepresented youth by 2031. To develop the Framework, NIMH partnered with the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) and the <em>Eunice Kennedy Shriver</em> National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and engaged with multiple other entities across NIH, HHS, and the federal government. This Strategic Framework is structured to align with and supplement 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> and the <a href="https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/strategic-plan/" rel="external">NIH Minority Health and Health Disparities Strategic Plan&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, and may be periodically updated based on stakeholder feedback, emerging challenges and opportunities, and research advances.</li>
<li><strong>NIH Recognizes Winners of National Youth Essay Contest on Mental Health</strong>: In an effort to promote awareness of and spark conversations about mental health among high schoolers, NIMH, along with NIMHD and NICHD, sponsored the &ldquo;<a href="https://nimhd.nih.gov/programs/edu-training/mental-health-essay-contest/index.html" rel="external">2022 Speaking Up About Mental Health!&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>&rdquo; essay contest. Contest participants explored ways that individuals or society can address or eliminate stigma that young people may face when seeking mental health treatment. Of the 200 submissions from high schoolers across 33 states, NIH named <a href="https://nimhd.nih.gov/programs/edu-training/mental-health-essay-contest/awardees-2022/" rel="external">nine winning essays&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> and six honorable mentions. These essays addressed topics such as suicide, anxiety, the challenges of stigma, and improving access to mental health education and treatment, particularly in underserved populations, including individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups.</li>
<li id="part_10812_1b"><strong>Advancing Precision Medicine Research</strong>: NIMH aims to support research that will develop and test tools for use by clinicians in tailoring treatment recommendations to individual patients. To address this pressing challenge, NIMH plans to launch an ambitious research program that will focus on two parallel areas of need: <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="f8d2a448-f48d-4d1f-9d78-4ac41b584652" href="/funding/grant-writing-and-application-process/concept-clearances/2022/individually-measured-phenotypes-to-advance-computational-translation-impact">precision diagnostics</a> and <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="4759d9de-9edd-4ba7-a0d4-f4b2e8647075" href="/funding/grant-writing-and-application-process/concept-clearances/2022/developing-tools-to-inform-treatment-selection-in-depression">biomarker development</a>. The goal of the precision diagnostics effort is to support studies that follow large, diverse cohorts of individuals over time using novel behavioral and physiological methods to better predict patient prognosis and optimize treatment. These studies will combine innovative methods for assessing behavior (such as mobile device-based measurement of cognition and activity) with detailed clinical information from electronic health records to identify longitudinal relationships among symptoms of mental illnesses, biological systems, behavior, and day-to-day functioning. Meanwhile, the biomarker development effort seeks to deliver highly sensitive and specific biomarkers to guide treatment decisions for major depression.</li>

<ul>
<li>The figure below shows the NIMH budget in appropriated (current) versus constant (FY 2010) dollars (excludes 21st Century Cures funding). Constant dollars are &ldquo;inflation adjusted&rdquo; 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. Adjusting for inflation, NIMH has received sustained increases over the past seven fiscal years. NIMH has received several increases in appropriation over the past decade and actual purchasing power has increased 17.7 percent since FY 2010.</li>

<h3 id="part_10246_2">Notable NIMH Grants</h3>
<p>The following is a selection of the Institute&rsquo;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>During adolescence, the brain undergoes a profound reorganization, including the formation and stabilization of neural circuits that are critically involved in decision making. While direct evidence has been limited, it is hypothesized that age-related improvements in decision making are driven by changes in brain circuits that encode specific reinforcement learning mechanisms. With support from the NIMH Division of Neuroscience and Basic Behavioral Science, <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10582133" rel="external"><strong>Benjamin Saunders, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, and <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10582133" rel="external"><strong>Stephanie Groman, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (University of Minnesota), plan to use imaging techniques and computational modeling to assess circuit and neuronal activity in rats during adolescence to determine how developmental changes in specific neural networks mediate improvements in reinforcement learning and subsequent decision making. Further, Drs. Saunders and Groman seek to determine how encoding of attention and reward-prediction errors guide value-based choice across adolescence. Study findings may provide a framework for understanding the neurodevelopmental mechanisms of mental illnesses and inspire future translational studies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Late-life depression (LLD) affects about 1 in 10 adults aged 60 years and over and places those individuals at higher risk for additional adverse health outcomes, such as stroke and dementia. LLD can present differently across individuals due to depression severity, symptoms, age of onset, and duration of illness. With support from the NIMH Division of Translational Research, <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10520849" rel="external"><strong>Janine Bijsterbosch, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Washington University in St. Louis), plans to study variations in the development of LLD, leveraging data from the UK Biobank, a large biomedical database containing in-depth genetic and health information from half a million people. Dr. Bijsterbosch aims to combine data from more than 60 brain measures, such as cortical thickness, with information about environmental and psychological stressors and employ computational modeling approaches to predict individual resilience or vulnerability to LLD. Overall, this research may improve strategies for treatment and prevention of LLD by revealing further insights into LLD heterogeneity.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Suicide is a leading cause of death in youth, with an alarming increase in suicide rates among certain subpopulations. The NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research is supporting several studies targeting systems-level risk detection and interventions to reduce suicide ideation and behaviors in Black youth and in youth from other underserved populations. For example, several research teams, led by <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10440864" rel="external"><strong>Michael A. Lindsey, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (New York University), <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10440929" rel="external"><strong>Janelle Goodwill, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (University of Chicago), and <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10440599" rel="external"><strong>Sonyia Richardson, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (University of North Carolina Charlotte), aim to refine and optimize scalable versions of evidence-based strategies in emergency departments, middle schools, and faith-based organizations, with added emphasis on intersectionality and family support. Additionally, teams led by <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10440040" rel="external"><strong>Kathleen Kemp, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Rhode Island Hospital), <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10440113" rel="external"><strong>Sarah Polk, M.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Johns Hopkins University), and <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10440817" rel="external"><strong>Jody Russon, Ph.D.</strong>&nbsp;<i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), aim to reduce suicide among groups that experience disparities in service access and use, including justice-involved youth, Latinx or Hispanic youth, sexual and gender minority youth, and youth who seek service in a variety of non-mental health settings, including family court, medical care facilitates, and LGBTQ-serving organizations. Collectively, these projects may yield insight into a variety of scalable services interventions to improve risk identification, coordinated referral, and improve engagement and retention in evidence-based suicide prevention interventions among at-risk youth.</li>
