项目摘要

The NIMH Division of Intramural Research Programs' (IRP) scientists conduct research ranging from studies into the mechanisms of normal brain function at the behavioral, systems, cellular, and molecular levels, to clinical investigations into the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness. Researchers study conditions in adults and children such as anxiety, depressive, bipolar, attention deficit hyperactivity, and autism spectrum disorders, as well as schizophrenia. Approaches include experimental therapeutics; functional and molecular imaging; genetics; behavioral, cognitive, molecular and cellular neuroscience; and epidemiology. In part, because of its state-of-the-art facilities, unique funding mechanisms, and location in the nation's capital, the IRP is viewed as a national resource, providing unique opportunities in mental health research and research training. Susan G. Amara, Ph.D., serves as the Scientific Director for the NIMH IRP and provides oversight to a diverse mental health research portfolio that includes clinical projects on autism, women's health, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mood and anxiety disorders; and basic projects geared toward answering fundamental questions related to mental health in the areas of cognition, genetics, learning and memory, and behavior. The portfolio also includes projects aimed at exploring cutting edge technologies and approaches to neuroscience such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG). The Scientific Director provides supplemental resources, as appropriate, to research projects in the IRP portfolio. In FY2022, five new senior and tenure-track investigators came on board to lead research programs in brain development, computational psychiatry/neuroscience, pediatric neuroimaging and autism, and autoimmune brain disorders. In addition, the office hired a Scientific Diversity Advisor, who has led trainings in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) (e.g., implicit bias in review, microaggressions, etc.) for various stakeholders.

NIMH的壁内研究计划（IRP）科学家进行研究，从研究到行为，系统，细胞和分子水平正常大脑功能的机制，再到对精神疾病诊断，治疗和预防的临床研究。研究人员研究成人和儿童的条件，例如焦虑，抑郁，双相情感，注意力缺陷多动和自闭症谱系障碍以及精神分裂症。方法包括实验治疗；功能和分子成像；遗传学；行为，认知，分子和细胞神经科学；和流行病学。在某种程度上，由于其最先进的设施，独特的资金机制和在美国首都的地理位置，IRP被视为国家资源，为心理健康研究和研究培训提供了独特的机会。 Susan G. Amara博士担任NIMH IRP的科学总监，并为多样化的心理健康研究组合提供了监督，其中包括有关自闭症，妇女健康，抑郁症，双相情感障碍，精神分裂症，注意力缺陷多动态障碍，情绪和焦虑症的临床项目；以及旨在回答认知，遗传学，学习，记忆以及行为领域中与心理健康有关的基本问题的基本项目。该投资组合还包括旨在探索尖端技术和神经科学方法的项目，例如功能性磁共振成像（fMRI），磁共振光谱（MRS）和磁脑摄影（MEG）。科学总监为IRP投资组合中的研究项目提供了补充资源。在2022财年，五名新的高级和终身轨道调查员参加了董事会，领导大脑发育，计算精神病学/神经科学，儿科神经影像学和自闭症以及自身免疫性脑部疾病的研究计划。此外，办公室还聘请了一位科学多样性顾问，他为各种利益相关者领导了多样性，公平，包容性和可及性（DEIA）（例如，审查，微攻击等）的培训（例如，隐性偏见）。
