Being a member of The STARR Coalition provides you with access to The STARR resources, as well as to a community of like-minded professionals.  But the real reason to become a member is to support The STARR’s efforts to advance mental health clinical research by:

  • cultivating community engagement;
  • promoting mental health clinical research as a care option for those living with mental health conditions;
  • strengthening communication between research site staff and patients, caregivers, and advocacy groups;
  • standardizing best practices around communication, empathy, and suicide prevention, to name a few;
  • reducing the stigma around mental health clinical research and rebuilding trust in mental health clinical research within advocacy and the mental health community.

The STARR Corporate Members are the leaders in Mental Health Clinical Research.

Many of our Corporate Members have been instrumental in developing the STARR’s mission and priorities, as well as many of the programs we have helped implement across the mental health ecosystem.  We are grateful for their dedication and continued collaboration with The STARR’s community and to mental health research.  Members’ input into the STARR Site Certification program, Project RockSTARR, and STARR911, just to name a few items, has had tremendous impact on the entire mental health research ecosystem.

Corporate membership is renewed annually and starts at $50,000.  This funding helps sustain the efforts of The STARR as well as provides member organizations with continued support and access to The STARR community, and to national, state, and local advocacy organizations, advocacy leaders and patient spokespeople, and recommendations, resources, and advice on mental health advocacy and community care topics.
