The Indiana Consortium for Mental Health Services Research (ICMHSR) is an inter-disciplinary program that brings together academic researchers from the universities across Indiana with government leaders, consumers, and advocates to discuss and study the interface of the community and the treatment system. It also provides a locus of contact with national research scientists, policy makers and other stakeholder groups. The ICMHSR focuses on developing high quality scholarly and applied research projects on mental health and related services for people with severe mental disorders. A major commitment of the ICMHSR is to use research to foster public awareness and improve public policy and decision-making regarding these devastating illnesses. Building on the National Institute of Mental Health's Caring for People with Severe Mental Disorders: A National Plan to Improve Services, the program emphasizes training core faculty in state-of-the-art research methods and involving them in a variety of basic and policy-related research projects. In addition, the program offers research seed money and supports core faculty to attend national conferences to further their training and professional development. The Consortium has received support from the Services Research Division of the National Institute of Mental Health (Grant Number MH51669); the Research and University Graduate School and the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University, Bloomington; the Dean of the Faculty at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis; and the Indiana State Division of Mental Health. |
