The CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (INMHA) mandate is to support research to enhance mental health, neurological health, vision, hearing, and cognitive functioning and to reduce the burden of related disorders through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation. Associated research will advance our understanding of human thought, emotion, behaviour, sensation (sight, hearing, touch, communication, taste, smell), perception, learning and memory.
The Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction will fund workshop/symposia to be held in Canada when budget permits. This funding in intended for a one-time event and is at the discretion of the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction and dependent upon the relevance of the workshop/symposia to the INMHA's mandate and strategic priorities.

- Mental health and neurological health promotion policies and strategies
- Addiction prevention policies and strategies

- Co-morbidity of conditions and impacts on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care and rehabilitation
- Design and implementation of health services delivery - from prevention, to screening, to diagnosis, to intervention or treatment, to rehabilitation, to palliation
- Development and implementation of health technologies and tools (e.g. imaging, bio-engineering, drug delivery technologies)
