U-M announces NIMH-backed COMPASS precision mental health grant
NIMH awarded $17.9 million to the COMPASS precision mental health collaboration.
COMPASS uses genetic, clinical, and patient-reported information to study how people respond to mental health treatment. The principal investigators are Amy Bohnert, Srijan Sen, and Lars Fritsche. Lars leads the genetics and electronic health record (EHR) data work, including polygenic scores, pharmacogenetics, and analyses of diagnosis and medication histories.
The Michigan Medicine announcement explains the focus on differences in treatment response and lists the participating investigators.
