Tens of millions suffer from mental illness across every age, ethnicity and economic level. Challenges to mental wellbeing impact individuals as well as communities, employers, institutions, and even the national GDP. 

With research funding dollars at an all-time low in the U.S., the Institute for Mental Health Research (IMHR) is working to support the discoveries that will make a difference for so many, and place Arizona at the forefront of transforming mental health through research. 

A gift to IMHR helps provide vital seed funding to scientists pursuing innovative, early-stage mental health research that addresses the most complex and problematic issues facing society today. Our goal is to move research forward to provide better diagnosis and prevention strategies, new treatments, better systems, and ultimately, accessible cures for mood, emotional, psychological and brain disorders. 

Additionally, your support enables IMHR to continue providing free educational offerings focused on bringing discovery from cutting-edge mental health researchers to those who need the information most in our community.
