We know that mental health is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. However, not enough is known about how these factors interact.
By collaborating with the research community and experts in practice, we hope to bridge this gap, break down silos, and foster a more coherent, collaborative, and focused field of mental health science. That’s what I think.

The complex issues in mental health today cannot be solved by one discipline or discipline alone. They require a multidisciplinary approach.
We want to empower a diverse, international field that prioritizes lived experience.We support this through our mental health programshaped by our Field construction team and live experience team.
We fund people who collaborate across disciplines, backgrounds and locations, from the cellular to the societal level. This includes biologists, data scientists, economists, historians, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social scientists, etc., and everyone can have a role to play.
We also work with organizations to support collaboration in the research we fund. for example, We work with MQ Mental Health to fund researchers outside of the mental health field to bring fresh ideas and accelerate progress in depression, anxiety and psychosis. [PDF 1.28KB].
By combining perspectives, interdisciplinary science, or “convergent science,” can help produce more robust solutions.
