Research

A wide array of psychiatric and behavioral science research is performed by faculty members. The majority of these research projects are funded by governmental grants, primarily from the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation. Projects exploring new psychiatric medications are also supported by major pharmaceutical companies.

The specific research projects in the Department are constantly changing as some projects end and others begin. To locate information about our research, we have listed the general topic areas and the faculty associated with them. Click on the faculty member's name for additional details.
