## About the NIH, NIMH, & IRP

With a current budget of over $2.5B per year, the NIMH is among the largest divisions of the [NIH](http://www.nih.gov) and is the largest funder of research on mental disorders in the world. The NIMH mission is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. The IRP is the [largest biomedical research institution on earth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIH_Intramural_Research_Program#:~:text=the%20NIH%20Intramural%20Research%20Program%20is%20the%20largest%20biomedical%20research%20institution%20on%20earth), where the unique funding environment allows scientists to conduct both long-term and high-impact science that would difficult to impossible in a grant-dependent institution.

## About the Team

The DSST is responsible for leading and supporting data-intensive scientific projects within the NIMH IRP. We work closely with the [Machine Learning Team](http://cmn.nimh.nih.gov/mlt), as well as other IRP investigators (e.g. [Armin Raznahan](https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/research-conducted-at-nimh/research-areas/clinics-and-labs/hgb/sdn), [Peter Bandettini](https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/research-conducted-at-nimh/research-areas/clinics-and-labs/lbc/sfim), [Robert Innis](https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/research-conducted-at-nimh/research-areas/clinics-and-labs/mib/spns)). Special emphasis is placed on reproducible analyses of high dimensional genetic, genomic, neuroimaging, and behavioral datasets.

We also work to implement the [policy guidance](https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/08/25/ostp-issues-guidance-to-make-federally-funded-research-freely-available-without-delay/) from the White House Office of Science Policy ([OSTP)](https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/) to ensure free, immediate, and equitable public access to federally funded research, foster greater collaboration and innovation, and strengthen public trust.
