Past Events from 2024

During this fireside chat, Drs. Shelli Avenevoli and Arielle H. Sheftall provided an overview of the state of youth suicide and suicidal behaviors in the United States.

This webinar will provide the scientific field and NIMH scientific reviewers with updated information on clinical trials, including changes to pilot effectiveness and services research.

Undergrads, grad students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows are invited to learn about training opportunities in the NIMH Intramural Research Program.

During this lecture, Jenny Radesky, M.D., and Megan Moreno, M.D., M.S.Ed., M.P.H., discussed youth-centered approaches to social media research.

Information for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to understand and address the needs of children with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Join experts to explore passive and active data collection, social contexts of suicide risk, and Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI) methods.

This webinar focuses on the complex communication between the nervous and immune systems and how this interaction impacts brain function during development, adulthood, and disease.

In recognition of National Suicide Prevention Month in September, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) hosted a livestream event on suicide prevention in health care settings.

Undergraduates, graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows are invited to learn about training opportunities available in the NIMH Intramural Research Program.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will host a virtual workshop on the placebo effect. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in neurobiology, clinical trials, and regulatory science to examine placebo effects in drug, device, and psychosocial interventions for mental health conditions.

A technical assistance webinar was held for prospective applicants of the following Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Streamlining Mental Health Interventions for Youth Living with HIV in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (R01 Clinical Trial Optional).

During this lecture, Anna Wexler, Ph.D., will explore the ethical challenges and considerations associated with the expansion of neurotechnology from controlled laboratory environments to consumer use. Drawing on her research surrounding do-it-yourself, direct-to-consumer, and alternative neurotherapies, she will highlight the importance of addressing unintended uses of neurotechnology. She will also share insights from her current research efforts that consider how we can more effectively guide the ethical development of neurotechnology.

Experts from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will provide an overview of NIH clinical trial classifications, with a particular focus on global mental health research.

As part of the yearlong 75th Anniversary celebration, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is hosting a webinar to explore key advances in genetics and genomics research.

Undergraduates, graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows are invited to learn about training opportunities available in the NIMH Intramural Research Program.

NIMH leadership and staff will present several sessions featuring some of the major initiatives NIMH has undertaken or been involved with over the years.

This workshop will convene researchers and federal officials to review the state of the science for neurofeedback intervention development for mental disorders, with an emphasis on real time fMRI approaches.

NIMH expert Sarah H. Lisanby, M.D. described common types of brain stimulation therapies, and why they are used, dispel misconceptions, and highlighted NIMH-supported research in this area.

NICHD and NIMH experts explore how technology and digital media affect child and adolescent development and mental health.

Undergraduates, graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows are invited to learn about training opportunities available in the NIMH Intramural Research Program.

This workshop will be a 3-day interactive event with targeted and coordinated presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations with the following goals: 1. Foster the development of data standards for the integration and annotation of single-cell genomics data. 2. Systemize and automate the process of data to information to knowledge and develop pipelines where feasible. 3. Shed new insights on brain cell functional studies by using cell atlasing data and cell type-specific targeting tools. 4. Develop strategies with brain disease research communities to maximally leverage BICCN / BICAN data. 5. Develop a community roadmap for the analysis and annotation of single cell data.

NIMH's Director and Deputy Director will answer questions about NIMH’s research priorities, progress made, and challenges ahead in the coming years.

This day-long virtual workshop will give the neuroscience community an opportunity to discuss how the NIH Policy on Sex as a Biological Variable is applied to studies using non-human primates.
