This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $863,122 to SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, in collaboration with the University of Ibadan (Nigeria) and the University of the West Indies (Trinidad and Tobago), to examine differences in clinical presentation, health outcomes, and treatment response among patients with psychotic disorders globally, with a focus on the Global South. The project aims to establish an expanded, diverse-ancestry study cohort with detailed data on untreated psychosis, and benchmark the generalizability of current polygenic scores and prevalence of rare genomic variations in these populations. The resulting clinical and genomic data will enable comparative analyses with other large-scale, international studies of psychosis in diverse populations. The award supports two trainees at the University of Ibadan and the expansion of research infrastructure at the University of Ibadan and University of the West Indies to facilitate future collaborative research.
