This report synthesizes the discussions during a workshop convened by the National Institute of Mental Health and the Foundation for the NIH that focused on progress and challenges in the use of patient‐derived reprogrammed cells for basic biological discovery, target identification, screening, and drug development for mental illnesses. The meeting revealed that the greatest progress has been made in reprogramming methods and agreed‐upon standards for validating the resulting induced pluripotent stem cell lines and provided an important venue to address potential opportunities for translational and clinical applications of reprogrammed cell research.
