New network for mental health research
A new national collaboration to transform the way mental health treatment is developed and tested will be led by Deakin University and partners including The University of Western Australia, with $12 million support from the Federal Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).
The Mental Health Australia General Clinical Trial Network (MAGNET) will start as a five-year project that will be funded through the MRFF’s Million Minds Mission, as recently announced in the Federal Budget.
Professor Sean Hood, Head of UWA Medical School’s Psychiatry Division, and Osvaldo Almeida, Professor in Psychiatry, also from the UWA Medical School, are among 50 chief investigators involved in the project.
