Both the Australian Government and Macquarie Bank Foundation are funding the initiative of $3.8 million. The organizations involved are the Schizophrenia Research Insitute (SRI), the University of NSW and the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute.

Leading researcher in the field, Cyndi Shannon Weickhert will be heading up the research and focusing on methods "...to target risk factors early on".
