What The Institute for Psychiatric Neuroscience does
Mission
To carry out and support basic research related to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD and Depression.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Ocd and depression are emotionally devastating psychiatric disorders with significant social and economic costs. An estimated 5 to 6 million people in the united states will suffer from ocd during their lifetime. The world health organization has said that ocd is among the 10 most disabling conditions in the world. One problem is that the medications used to treat ocd can take up to twelve weeks to exert their effect, and only 30 percent of patients will respond to their first medication trial. This means that those who do not respond must wait another 12 weeks to see if the second medication has any benefit. It is not uncommon for patients to have 3-4 medication trials to find a treatment that works. Patients with extreme symptoms may give up and take their lives. In fact, 14-17 percent of ocd patients will attempt suicide during their lifetime. An estimated 17-20 million american adults will suffer from depression each year. Severely depressed patients also have high suicide rates. Suicide is the fifth leading cause of death among adult males, and is the third leading cause of death for all young people ages 15-24. One reason for these high suicide rates is that significant…
$1,285 spent100% of program spendingWe previously made grants to vanderbilt university to support the work of the blakely laboratory at vanderbilt medical school's center for molecular neurobiology. In collaboration with that lab, we explored the role that chemicals called cytokines play in depression. Cytokines are pro-inflammatory molecules that are released by the immune system in response to infection. Numerous laboratories have found an association between brain cytokines and depressive illness. It has been shown that blocking one cytokine receptor in the brain will protect animals from depressive-like symptoms induced by chronic uncontrollable stress. It is thought that ssri's reduce feelings of depression by blocking the transporter that inactivates serotonin, leading to greater serotinin stimulation of the brain. At the vanderbilt center for molecular nerobiology we showed that proinflammatory cytokines in the brain have the opposite effect. They increase serotonin inactivation by the transporter, lowering serotonin, and inducing depressive-like behaviours in animal models. When the intracellular pathway by which cytokines activate the transporter are blocked, the animals no longer showed depressive-like…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $31k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $145k → $160k.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of The Institute for Psychiatric Neuroscience’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of The Institute for Psychiatric Neuroscience's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $999k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
