Funding research, training, and practice 

Stronger, Together

No man is an island. No woman exists independent of her family, culture, friends, and living conditions. No child is free from emotional influence. No problem can be solved in isolation.

At the Mental Research Institute (MRI) we explore and support the development of innovative interactional systemic approaches to understanding and improving human relationships. If you are an academic or research institute based investigator seeking funding for a research project that aligns with our mission, you have come to the right place.

“A population of four million is not quantitatively but qualitatively different from an individual, because it involves systems of interaction among the individuals.”.
