Annual report for Fiscal Year 2008 (FY08) from the Center for Mental Health Services Research (CMHSR). We have made great progress toward the overall goals we proposed in our response to DMH’s RFR issued almost two years ago. These included: increased consumer involvement and voice in CMHSR research; substantially expanded work on multicultural issues in mental health services; continued growth of external funding; and, improved mechanisms for disseminating research findings to DMH staff, consumers, and vendors.
