With external research funding reaching $100 million in 2024, Brown Psychiatry and Human Behavior is positioned to transform the field of mental health, from scientific discovery to patient outcomes. 

Our scientists are committed to translational research with measurable impact. More than 200 members of our faculty, many of whom are leaders in their field, are involved in interdisciplinary collaborations with partners within our department, at Brown University, and across the globe.

Research at Brown Psychiatry and Human Behavior spans the spectrum of psychiatric and psychological specialties. Our department has a longstanding reputation as a national leader in psychosocial research but, in recent years, Brown researchers have doubled down on activity in biological bases of behavior and psychopathology. From discovery to implementation, our faculty and trainees are deploying cutting-edge technologies to shape the future of mental health treatment for all.
