The mission of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. This mission can only be realized if full participation in the research enterprise is open to all. Nevertheless, systemic racism and other barriers remain significant obstacles to achieving a diverse workforce. To address these barriers, NIMH must ensure a just and equitable funding process, support diversity-focused training opportunities, and encourage research into mental health disparities and other areas of interest to a diverse array of scientists.
美国国立精神卫生研究所(NIMH)的使命是通过基础和临床研究来转变人们对精神疾病的理解和治疗方法,为预防、康复和治愈铺平道路。只有向所有人开放参与研究事业的机会,这一使命才能实现。然而,系统性种族主义和其他障碍仍然是实现多元化劳动力的重大障碍。为了解决这些障碍,NIMH 必须确保公正和平等的资金分配过程,支持以多样性为重点的培训机会,并鼓励对精神健康差异和其他对多元化科学家感兴趣的领域进行研究。
