A Sept. 17, 2026, feature from the Colorado Arts & Sciences Magazine, published by the University of Colorado Boulder, features research conducted through the UCLA STAND ALACRITY Center, part of the UCLA Depression Grand Challenge. 

The UCLA Depression Grand Challenge was awarded a five-year, $12 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to expand its STAND system of care, with a focus on reaching more California community college students. The federal funding will establish a new campus research center that will work to optimize the effectiveness and implementation of the STAND model and execute a sustainable and scalable plan for implementing STAND at community colleges.
