This grant is for the purpose of accelerating gene discovery and enhancing our understanding of the genetic architecture of mental illnesses. Specifically, it seeks to fund cooperative agreements focused on coordinated research efforts. The primary aim is to identify genes associated with psychiatric disorders in populations of non-European ancestry. By focusing on ancestrally varied global populations, this initiative intends to provide a more comprehensive and inclusive insight into the complex genetic underpinnings of mental health conditions. The research will contribute significantly to developing more targeted diagnostics and treatments by elucidating how genetic factors contribute to mental disorders across diverse human ancestries, thereby addressing existing disparities in genetic research.
