Does every basic science grant have to focus on a specific disorder or include a clinical population? What about including neural or biological levels of explanation?
Every basic science grant does not have to focus on a specific disorder, nor include clinical populations, nor have a disorder named in its title, nor include measures of both brain and behavior. We at NIMH want to avoid constrained science. However, we are placing higher priority on basic research, including behavioral research that is informed by or informs biology or seeks to translate to solving mental health problems.
