About the partners for MENTAL Health Innovation Challenge:

  *   The Administration for Community Living (ACL) at U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was created around the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities. By funding services and supports provided by networks of community-based organizations, and with investments in research, education, and innovation, ACL helps make this principle a reality for millions of Americans.
  *   The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health at U.S. Department of Health and Human Services oversees the Department's key public health offices and programs, a number of Presidential and Secretarial advisory committees, 10 regional health offices across the nation, the Office of the Surgeon General, and the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
  *   In 1976, Congress established the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to provide the President and others within the Executive Office of the President with advice on the scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of the economy, national security, homeland security, health, foreign relations, the environment, and the technological recovery and use of resources, among other topics.
  *   The mission of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to fulfill President Lincoln's promise "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan" by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's veterans. Within the VA, the Veterans Health Administration<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA5MDEuMjYzNzQ0ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy52YS5nb3YvaGVhbHRoLyJ9.lXQ2S5imRI7U90ozPLWsNyUsTAc_uO8jykApNsBbBpY/s/1206004223/br/83038201363-l> is the largest integrated health care network in the United States, with 1,255 health care facilities serving nine million enrolled veterans each year.
  *   The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. An independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress, the Commission is the federal agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America's communications law and regulations.
