Being a geek at heart, I was delighted yesterday when the NIH released data on $5 billion in grants it has awarded with stimulus funds. I sliced and diced the data, extracted the mental health grants and sorted them descending by the amount of the grant. Click here to find out who got how much and what for.
There are 388 mental health grants worth about $207 million. The two biggest grants – about $10 million each - were awarded to investigators at Yale and the University of Southern California to create a “Transcriptional Atlas of Human Brain Development” and to the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for Military Medicine to develop “Modifiable Risk and Protective Factors for Suicidal Behaviors in the Army.”
About $2.6 million funds mental health research affecting African Americans. Nine grants, totaling $1.1 million, will fund research on mental health among Hispanics.
