UCLA was among the campuses cited for its recognition of the need to deliver better and faster services to campus communities with the Depression Grand Challenge’s Screening and Treatment for Anxiety and Depression system of care.

The funds will enable the DGC to upgrade the STAND Program (dubbed STAND 2.0), including an enhanced digital treatment platform and the creation of new algorithms and back-end tools.

The 100K study is one of the four components of the Depression Grand Challenge and it offers the promise to reveal the underlying genetic, cognitive, social and environmental causes of depression.
