Funding: Tommy Fuss Scholars Program in Precision Psychiatry

The Center for Precision Psychiatry (CPP) is committed to fostering the careers of early career investigators in the emerging area of precision psychiatry. Precision psychiatry aims to identify and leverage individual differences in biology, lifestyle, environment, and the social determinants of health, to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions. Integrating research, clinical implementation, education and training, the CPP is committed to driving innovation to implementation and making discoveries that can be translated to clinical care. The Tommy Fuss Scholars Program in Precision Psychiatry was established to support innovative research efforts by early-career investigators.

Scholars will work with CPP faculty on projects aligned with the CPP mission and goals including therapeutics, big data analytics, precision treatment matching, mobile health technologies, genomics, neuroscience, and clinical trials.

Recipients will be selected by a CPP faculty review panel and will receive $50,000 inclusive of indirect costs to advance their research project. Funds can be used flexibly to support salary or research costs.
