The Institute of Psychiatry is part of King’s College in London and is the largest institute in Europe dedicated to research in the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses. The research stretches from basic neuroscience through epidemiology to health services implementation research and much of this research strongly influences policy. The Institute is also part of King’s Health Partners – a partnership of health care providers and university health care experts which will provide local health and mental health care which is informed by research. It is a partnership with close links to the local community so that services meet local needs.
Research at the Institute is also helped by the presence of the Service User Research enterprise which involves service users in all parts of research from its design to its dissemination. The Institute’s research is funded from organisations around the globe and it also has world influence. It therefore has the key organisational profile of previous experience in managing European projects, scientific expertise as well as a broad approach to research in mental health by involving users and influencing policy.

Besides leading WP11: Translation into roadmaps, KCL plays key roles in several other ROAMER work packages (WP1, WP2, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP9, WP10) as well.

FondaMental Foundation plays a key role in ROAMER with leading WP3: Research capacity and infrastructure, in collaboration with INSERM and with URC-ECO Ile de France.
FondaMental is a scientific private foundation created in 2007 by the French Ministry of Research for the promotion and support of Mental Health research and care. The mission of FondaMental is to implement an innovative strategy for the management of psychiatric illnesses in France and to promote cutting-edge psychiatric translational research extending from basic science to therapeutic application.
The objectives of FondaMental focus on three main areas:

• Health care and medical/social area: FondaMental expert centres are designed to work complementarily to the “sectorial” non-specialised organisation of French psychiatry. The expert centres are regional, multidisciplinary structures specifically dedicated to a complete diagnostic evaluation. Patients are referred to these centres by resource centres, general practitioners or psychiatrists. FondaMental expert centres focus on three major disorders: bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and autism (Asperger's syndrome);
• Research area: FondaMental supports clinical research, research into the aetiological mechanisms and studies on new therapeutic strategies for these three disorders carried out in collaboration with teams from INSERM, Pasteur Institute, CNRS, universities and other platforms;
• Training and educational area for researchers and health professionals

For further information regarding Foundation FondaMental, please visit their website

INSERM is a national public research agency composed of several hundred units active in all fields of medical research throughout the entire French territory.

ECRIN is an FP7-funded distributed infrastructure enabling multinational cooperation in investigator-driven clinical research, providing access to patients throughout Europe, with a major impact on science and healthcare. ECRIN supports multinational clinical research projects. ECRIN is based on the connection of national clinical research infrastructures networks, currently covering 14 countries in Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden Switzerland, United Kingdom. ECRIN is also involved in the IMI-funded European Medicines Research Training Network (EMTrain) project, developing a pan-European strategy and tools for training programmes for the medicines research and development professionals in Europe.

On behalf of ECRIN, only INSERM will be active in ROAMER, playing an important role in the work of WP3: Structuring of reseach capacity, infrastructures, capacity building&funding.

The Behavioural & Clinical Neuroscience Institute (BCNI) is the leading translational interface at Cambridge University in the domain of neuropsychiatry. The BCNI (jointly funded by the U.K. Medical Research Council and the Welcome Trust) is an interdisciplinary group of neuroscientists working together at UCAM to understand the behavioural, cognitive and neurobiological basis of psychiatric and neurological disorders. The BCNI has strong themes of neuroimaging research, including cellular and systems imaging (with MR, PET and EEG) and of neuropsychopharmacology across rodents, monkeys and humans (healthy volunteers and mental health patients). The main aim is to optimise translational neuroscience studies across species with a focus on mental health, in particular impulsive/compulsive disorders, including drug addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD); disorders at the cognitive-emotional interface such as psychosis, depression and anxiety and cognitive disorders, such as in dementia and schizophrenia. The BCNI comprises approximately 200 research members led by 20-30 senior academic affiliates spread across basic departments (Experimental Psychology and Physiology, Development and Neuroscience) and the Clinical School (Psychiatry, Clinical Neurosciences and the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre).
