Recovery-Oriented Research Grants
Through recovery-oriented research grants, the Hogg Foundation aims not only to add to the evidence base of recovery-oriented practices, but also to further the opportunities for people with lived experience of mental illness to act as co-investigators within the research and evaluation enterprise.

Background
For most of our history, funding mental health research has been a priority for the Hogg Foundation. In recent years, we have increasingly prioritized recovery-oriented research, which furthers knowledge of and evidence for recovery-oriented practices, including person-centered care, innovative mental health supports, developing and evaluating outcome measures, and peer specialist workforce issues.
Recovery-oriented care has gained increasing recognition as a person-centered approach which leads to improved consumer outcomes. Operating under the assumption that people can and do recover from mental illness, the concept of mental health recovery was identified as the principal aim of future behavioral health services by the 1999 Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health and the 2003 President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.
Recovery-oriented research strongly values the perspective that mental health consumers bring to the research enterprise, recognizing that consumers in recovery have unique expertise and experience.
“The evidence base for recovery-oriented supports such as peer support and person-centered care continues to grow, and the Hogg Foundation is happy to contribute to that effort,” said Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr., executive director of the Hogg Foundation and associate vice president for diversity and community engagement at The University of Texas at Austin. “We’re also learning that the best of these approaches give us another way to reach traditionally underserved populations such as minorities and youth.”
