Rationale

We are entering a new era of opportunity for early career clinician-scientists in mental health disciplines. Finding ways to support the groundswell of clinical investigators is thus a pressing concern.

The Boston area has:

  • The greatest concentration of top-ranked psychiatry and psychology training programs in the US
  • Upward of $1 billion in NIH and philanthropic support for neuroscience research
  • Until now, no specific institutional training grant to bridge these resources for developing outstanding clinically-trained neuroscientists
