At the VISN3 MIRECC, the focus is on maximizing recovery for veterans with Serious Mental Illnesses (SMI) by bringing research into practice. Our aim, to reveal the causes and most effective treatments of serious mental illnesses, is accomplished through collaborations between four core domains: research, education, clinical interventions, and evaluation.

The objectives of VISN3 MIRECC are attained via the following:

  • An evaluation infrastructure to support the research, education, and clinical programs within the VA NY/NJ Veterans Healthcare Network.

  • Conducting research on the diagnosis and treatment of serious mental illness. This spans the spectrum from basic science to applied services research, and includes biological, psychological, social, and systems research.
    More >>
  • Implementing research-based, state-of-the-art clinical interventions for veterans with serious mental illness.

  • Developing, implementing, and evaluating the effectiveness of the educational interventions that improve the treatment of veterans with serious mental illness.
