NARSAD-supported research focuses primarily on schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and childhood mental illness. Guiding NARSAD’s grants programs is its Scientific Council, a volunteer group comprised of 103 leaders in the field psychiatric and neuroscience research, which reviews and recommends research proposals for funding.
