Mission Statement

The Foundation of Hope promotes scientific research aimed at discovering the causes of and potential cures for mental illness in order to develop a more effective means of treatment. We are committed to raising community awareness and supporting effective treatment programs. The Foundation provides financial support for ongoing and new research and treatment, as well as the development of researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, its affiliated psychiatric institutions, and local mental health agencies.

Description

Since 1984, The Foundation of Hope for Research and Treatment of Mental Illness has awarded 139 scientific research grants totaling more than $5.7 million, as well as over 40 community grants and projects. These funds have in turn leveraged an additional $145 million from the National Institute of Health and other federal agencies.

The Foundation of Hope funds scientists whose projects explore the biological, neurological, and genetic bases of mental illness, and in so doing, forges paths to improved diagnosis and treatment. Researchers who apply for funding from The Foundation of Hope do so with innovative projects that shed light on the causes, preventions, treatments, and even cures of mental illness.
