Dr. Sheffield is the PI of the study with Co-I's Stephan Heckers, Aaron Brinen, Neil Woodward, Baxter Rogers, Jinyuan Liu and Philip Corlett (Yale School of Medicine). The grant will fund a 5-year clinical trial providing 16-weeks of psychotherapy for individuals with schizophrenia and strongly held paranoia.
