Research
Projects
INPD and CISM leverage their projects to study neurodevelopment within the emerging field of population neuroscience, integrating neuroscience investigations with epidemiological sampling methods to better understand individual differences associated with mental disorders. Our projects translate evidence-based findings with clinical and social relevance into actionable models that can be implemented by government agencies and other sectors of society.
Precision Neuroscience
The “Conexão Mentes do Futuro” project is part of a global research initiative focused on understanding the development and mental health of young people around the world. It builds on the “Brazilian High Risk Cohort Study (BHRC)”, a pioneering study that followed children and adolescents from 2,511 families in the cities of Porto Alegre (RS) and São Paulo (SP).

Implementation Science
A research hub dedicated to bridging scientific evidence with real-world healthcare, education, and public policy settings, transforming evidence-based interventions into practical, sustainable, and potentially scalable strategies for implementation within Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) and other community-based settings.

Mental Health of Children and Young Adults
The fourth area, developed through a partnership between CISM, the Child Mind Institute (CMI), and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Global Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, brings together multiple strategies aimed at advancing cutting-edge research and promoting mental healthcare for children and adolescents. This initiative includes the development of the first nationwide epidemiological study on the mental health of Brazilian children, adolescents, and young adults; the use of multimodal technologies to advance knowledge of mental disorders and neuroscience; the implementation of evidence-based treatment protocols within public healthcare services; and the creation of the Center of Excellence in Data Science and Implementation.
