One Mind Rising Star Awards

About
One Mind launched the Rising Star Awards in 2005 under the fundamental principle that cutting edge, high-risk research would allow us to find the breakthroughs to accelerate cures for the neuropsychiatric illnesses that affect 1 in 4 people worldwide. Knowing that 90% of these conditions are treatable, we wanted to create a highly impactful grant that enables the researcher to think outside of the box and pursue research that might not otherwise be federally funded. Each One Mind Rising Star Award winner receives $300,000 over a three-year period to fund research for their studies, catalyzing innovation and encouraging collaboration and data sharing.
Since 2005, One Mind has awarded 43 awards to some of the best and brightest early-career brain scientists. Since receiving their awards, these researchers have gone on to make a significant impact, both in their studies and in the brain health community as a whole. One such awardee is 2010 Rising Star Award winner, Dr. Joshua Gordon, who now serves as the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health.
In 2022, One Mind in collaboration with COMPASS Pathways sponsored three (3) One Mind COMPASS Pathways Rising Star Awards to advance rigorous, evidence-based scientific research with great potential to benefit people living with psychiatric disorders and the mental healthcare system.
The three One Mind COMPASS Pathways Rising Star Award winners have each been awarded a $300,000 research grant over the course of three years to catalyze a deep mechanistic understanding of psychiatric disorders and therapeutic action, and with the end-goal of identifying or developing biomarkers and therapeutic interventions to better diagnose, treat, and prevent such disorders.
The awardees were selected by One Mind’s Scientific Advisory Board based on their academic credentials, research productivity, research proposal, and leadership potential. Applications were due by Monday, June 6, 2022.
