"The purpose of the Conte Centers program is to support interdisciplinary teams of researchers engaged in novel, creative, and integrated experimental approaches to address high-risk, high-impact scientific questions in either basic neuroscience research or in translational research that will significantly advance the state of the science in brain and behavioral research and provide the foundation for understanding mental disorders and/or transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses."
"NIMH remains committed to maintaining a robust and broad research portfolio that spans the full spectrum of scientific pursuits, ranging from basic neuroscience and behavioral science to translational research aimed at understanding and treating mental illness. While the majority of NIMH-supported research succeeds through focused research project grants within individual labs or small collaborations, there continues to be a need to support ambitious approaches that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and demonstrates an extraordinary level of synergy and integration."
The Conte Centers program supports interdisciplinary teams pursuing novel, integrated experimental approaches to address high-risk, high-impact questions in basic and translational neuroscience. The program aims to advance the state of brain and behavioral science and to provide foundations for understanding and treating mental disorders. NIMH maintains a broad portfolio spanning basic neuroscience, behavioral science, and translational research while identifying a specific need for ambitious, cross-disciplinary efforts with extraordinary synergy and integration. Centers must address a unified scientific hypothesis or problem using complementary approaches, multiple well-integrated projects, and optional core components critical for integration across the Center.
