Silvio O. Conte Centers for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders (P50): -Purpose. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invites research center grant applications for Silvio O. Conte Centers for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders (CCNMD): schizophrenia, mood disorders, and other severe mental illnesses. The primary goal of this initiative is to support integration and translation of basic and clinical neuroscience research on severe mental illnesses. Research supported by these centers should seek to clarify the neural substrates of mental disorders, including the etiology, pathogenesis, and/or developmental progressions of those disorders and the biological phenotypes associated with them. Such knowledge will ultimately enhance capabilities to diagnose, monitor, treat, and prevent mental disorders. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) represents a major NIMH commitment to these goals. -The CCNMD program is intended to support research demonstrating an extraordinary level of synergy, integration, and potential for advancement of the state of the field; this program is intended only for projects that could not be achieved by using other, more standard grant mechanisms. -Mechanism of Support. Support for the CCNMDs is through the NIH specialized center grant (P50) mechanism, with a maximum allowable total cost limit of $2,000,000 per year.
