Is the NIMH still interested in studies of normal development or aging?
Yes. NIMH is interested in basic research on developmental and aging processes that have compelling rationale and relevance to understanding the etiology, treatment, or prevention of mental illness. The field is too broad for NIMH to provide meaningful support across all areas, so NIMH works in concert with other Institutes (e.g., NICHD, NIA, NINDS) to have an appropriate and complementary focus.
