Abstract

This manuscript introduces a unique program titled "Clinical Research Center (CRC) for Neuromodulation in Psychiatry" supported by the prestigious CRC/Public Health Research Center Grant of the DBT Wellcome Trust India Alliance. This multi-institutional research program will be led by NIMHANS (Bengaluru) in collaboration with the Central Institute of Psychiatry (Ranchi), and Kasturba Medical College (Manipal). The goal of this CRC is in alignment with the editorial titled "Need to Develop "Interventional Psychiatry" as a subspecialty in India" published in the January 2020 issue of the Indian Journal of Psychiatry. The translational research studies and the training programs envisaged through this center will facilitate the development of cost-effective, advanced interventional psychiatry tailored to resource-limited Indian clinical settings and similar other countries as well.

Keywords: India; interventional psychiatry; neuromodulation.
