training in psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
He founded and was director of the hospital's Depression Clinical
and Research Program (DCRP) from 1990 to 2014. In 2007, he founded
and is now Executive Director of the MGH Clinical Trials Network
and Institute (CTNI), the first academic CRO specialized in
planning and coordination of multi-center clinical trials in
psychiatry. Under Dr. Fava's direction, the DCRP became one of the
most highly regarded depression programs in the country, a model
for academic programs that link, in a bi-directional fashion,
clinical and research work. His prominence in the field is
reflected in his role as the co-principal investigator of STAR*D,
the largest research study ever conducted in the area of
depression, and of the RAPID Network, the NIMH-funded series of
studies of novel, rapidly acting antidepressant therapies. Dr. Fava
is a world leader in the field of depression. He has authored or
co-authored more than 900 original articles published in medical
journals with international circulation, edited eight books, and
has been successful in obtaining funding as principal or
co-principal investigator from both the National Institutes of
Health and other sources for a total of more than $150 million.
