La Fondation FondaMental
Fondation FondaMental is a scientific cooperation foundation dedicated to mental health. It was established in 2007 at the initiative of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, alongside other research institutes such as the Institut du Cerveau and Institut Imagine, following a call for proposals for the creation of a Thematic Network for Research and Care (RTRS), to which Professor Marion Leboyer responded.
Fondation FondaMental has the same legal capacity as a public-interest foundation and operates in the public interest as defined by law. It leads major thematic research programmes in psychiatry, drawing on both public and private resources. Scientific cooperation foundations are private, non-profit legal entities governed by the rules applicable to public-interest foundations. As a private, non-profit organisation, Fondation FondaMental is authorised by law to receive both public and private funding (donations, bequests, and sponsorship) to support research and innovation in psychiatry for the benefit of patients and their families.
Fondation FondaMental is committed to four key missions: Supporting innovation in the organisation of care, Accelerating research in psychiatry, Disseminating knowledge, Fighting stigma associated with mental health disorders.
