Research Priorities

The Research Priorities document describes the Ohio Department of Mental Health's (ODMH) research program, administered by the Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE), and the context in which it operates. The goal of distributing this information is to encourage Ohio researchers from diverse backgrounds to submit grant applications consistent with ODMH research priorities.

The first section presents an overview of ODMH and the public mental health system and notes critical issues currently challenging the system. This background information provides a framework for understanding the department's research priorities and research program. It is followed by a discussion of the merit of public mental health research and the constituents ODMH's research program aims to serve. General categories of research priorities are then delineated, after which research program features are outlined. The final section of the document addresses the application process.
