Mental Health Research Accelerator

Advancing Public Mental Health

Mental health is a critical component of every facet of public health. Rollins faculty working in this field conduct clinical, heath services, imaging, genetics, policy, and social determinants research.

The public mental health accelerator seeks to build a body of interdisciplinary and collaborative work to advance the field both within and beyond Rollins School of Public Health. 

The group will:

  • Support public mental health research projects addressing a range of high-priority topics and populations
  • Develop common infrastructure and shared datasets to support larger, cross-departmental initiatives

Rollins faculty with an interest in public mental health are encouraged to join the workgroup meetings or reach out to the co-leads with questions.
