The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $480,834 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program to The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, a non-profit research organization. The grant funding will be used to leverage electronic health record (EHR) databases to build machine learning-based predictive models for key outcomes among individuals with psychosis-related disorders, including treatment response, illness severity, medical comorbidities, and diagnostic transitions. The project will also explore integrating dimensional phenotyping and whole genome sequencing data to enhance the predictive models. Additionally, the research will examine the psychosocial and ethical implications of implementing psychiatric clinical predictors. The 5-year project is expected to run from September 2024 through May 2029, with the goal of advancing precision psychiatry to enable individualized treatment planning, outcome monitoring, and preventive interventions.
