Health Research Board, Ireland

The Health Research Board (HRB) is Ireland's primary statutory health research funding agency, which has awarded grants to Trinity College Dublin's Psychedelic Research Group to investigate psychedelics' immune effects in depression and the feasibility of psilocybin for cocaine-use disorder. The HRB also funds the KARMA-DEP(2) ketamine trial for treatment-resistant depression at St Patrick's University Hospital in Dublin, making it a key enabler of Ireland's emerging psychedelic medicine ecosystem.
