Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the Mind Research Network (MRN) in Albuquerque has been awarded an $11.09 million grant from the federal government.

Funding comes from the U.S. Department of Energy and will be used to advance MRN's mission of prevention, diagnosis, and treating of mental illnesses and other brain disorders.

"The Mind Research Network is doing exceptional research that is essential to both understanding the causes of mental illness and developing effective treatments," Bingaman said.  "This grant will support the very important work being done there."

MRN was established in 1998 by then-Senator Pete Domenici.
