Mental health research is at a crossroads. Despite billions of dollars dedicated to depression and bipolar disorder research, rates of mental health across the U.S. have continued to soar for decades. The time to innovate is NOW.
The Psych Tank Funding Competition aims to uplift voices of University of Michigan researchers who aren’t afraid to think outside the box, explore new methods and collaborate across disciplines. Through impactful funding, this event seeks to validate innovative, groundbreaking ideas that will meaningfully accelerate the field of depression and bipolar disorder research.
