Community Psychiatry Research Center

The Community Psychiatry Research Center (CPRC) was established in October 2024 within the Community Psychiatry Program at UC San Diego. CPRC investigators are dedicated to improving the lives of individuals receiving mental health services in public-sector systems of care in our region, by leveraging academic-community partnerships to engage in research that is inclusive, community-driven, and locally responsive. The CPRC is also committed to providing robust training and mentorship in community-engaged psychiatric research, to equip the public-sector psychiatric workforce of the future to continue to elevate the public mental health of our communities.
