SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the lead federal 
agency for research on mental illnesses. The mission of the NIMH is to 
transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through 
basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, 
and cure. To fulfill its mission, the NIMH supports and conducts 
research on mental illnesses and the underlying basic science of brain 
and behavior; supports the training of scientists to carry out basic 
and clinical mental health research; and, communicates with scientists, 
patients, providers, and the general public about the science of mental 
illnesses.
    Every five years, NIMH publishes a Strategic Plan for Research to 
accelerate progress in basic, translational, and clinical science. The 
need to update the plan became clear with the increasing number of 
remarkable scientific advancements, the changing landscapes of mental 
health care over the past few years, and the pace of discovery and 
change in the mental health space.
    With the goals of helping individuals living with mental illnesses 
and promoting both prevention and cure, NIMH has updated its high-level 
Goals as follows:

1. Define the Brain Mechanisms Underlying Complex Behaviors
2. Examine Mental Illness Trajectories Across the Lifespan
3. Strive for Prevention and Cures
4. Strengthen the Public Health Impact of NIMH-Supported Research

    These four Goals form a broad roadmap for the Institute's 
priorities over the next five years, which begins with the fundamental 
science of the brain and behavior and continues through to the public 
health impact. Full implementation of these Goals will, we hope, 
transform the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses.
