Faculty Research Centers

Our faculty research centers foster new knowledge across the spectrum of mental health disorders.

Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence

Members of the Brown Psychiatry and Human Behavior faculty lead three state-of-the-art biomedical and behavioral research centers, strengthening our research infrastructure here at the university and across the state of Rhode Island.

STAR COBRE for Stress, Trauma, and Resilience

The only research center in Rhode Island focused on stress, trauma, and resilience, the STAR COBRE based at The Miriam Hospital is developing and sustaining a critical mass of investigators to conduct transformative research into mechanisms of risk and resilience following exposure to stress, trauma and adversity.

COBRE Center for Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Child and Adolescent Mental Health

The COBRE Center for Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Child and Adolescent Mental Health of Bradley Hospital exists to produce new knowledge about sleep and circadian rhythms in humans, to foster dissemination of knowledge through a variety of academic activities and to contribute to training the next generation of sleep scientists.

COBRE Center for Neuromodulation

The mission of the COBRE Center for Neuromodulation (CCN) at Butler Hospital is to support innovative clinical research in neuromodulation (brain stimulation) and the career development of investigators in this field.

Faculty Research Centers

Brown Psychiatry and Human Behavior faculty lead research centers across Rhode Island, solving basic and translational questions about mental health in adolescence and adulthood. 

Bradley Hospital Children's Research Center

One of the nation’s premier child mental health research training sites, BHCRC investigators direct more than 50 externally funded projects and total grant awards for all years of currently active projects averages close to $50 million.

Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk

The mission of the Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk is to stimulate outstanding interdisciplinary research, education, and clinical services on the biological and social factors that determine the developmental outcome of at-risk children.

Butler Hospital Memory and Aging Program

The Butler Hospital Memory & Aging Program (MAP) is a worldwide leader in Alzheimer’s disease research. An affiliate of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, MAP has a 20+ year history of excellence in clinical care, training, and cutting-edge research aimed at developing new and better ways to detect, treat, and someday prevent Alzheimer’s.

Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research

Housed within the Carney Institute, Brown University's Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research catalyzes collaborations across basic and clinical research groups toward uncovering when, where and how Alzheimer’s disease first arises to advance the pace toward treatment. Our research projects integrate knowledge across biological systems in humans, including behavioral, neural, vascular and immune.

Center for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine

CBPM research scientists and their teams work to discover new and improved health promotion and disease management approaches, focusing on the role of human behavior in health and disease. The research portfolio encompasses both primary prevention (e.g., tobacco cessation, weight management, physical activity) and chronic disease management.

Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology

The Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology (CfNN) unifies distinguished researchers and clinicians to advance and translate neurotechnology to restore lost function. Through its three focus areas and three support cores, CfNN seeks to develop, test, and implement new therapies and technologies that restore function for veterans with disorders affecting the nervous system.

Consortium for Research Innovation in Suicide Prevention

The Consortium for Research Innovation in Suicide Prevention (CRISP) aims to advance knowledge about and reduce the incidence of suicidal and other self-injurious behaviors through research, education, and policy.

Pediatric Anxiety Research Center

The Pediatric Anxiety Research Center (PARC) has provided assessment and treatment for children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders through research studies and an outpatient anxiety clinic since 1999. PARC includes leading mental health professionals, researchers in the pursuit of life-changing research, and educators with a passion for patient-centered care.
