Key future directions and action items.

Future Direction	Action Items:
Methodology	1.Standardize inflammation data collection, storage, and processing procedures (e.g., time of blood draw, fasted samples, store all samples at the same temperature) 2.Increase investigation of measurement properties of immunological variables that are germane to immunopsychiatry designs (e.g., temporal stability, temporal specificity, dimensionality for aggregate measures) 3.Leverage knowledge of these measurement characteristics to plan data collection and analysis 4.Utilize statistical approaches that isolate theoretically-relevant variance to increase precision of inferences
Phenotyping	1.Diversify the level of psychopathological measurement (e.g., diagnostic cases, total scores, subscales, individual symptoms) to identify which level of measurement has the most robust associations with immunology 2.Similarly, explore the possibility for specific inflammatory proteins/processes to have differential relationships with psychopathology
Theory Integration	1.Increase conceptual and empirical work placing immunological processes in the context of established psychosocial risk frameworks for psychopathology (e.g., rumination, social stress) 2.Extend promising integrated etiological models to clinical research to establish maximally-comprehensive treatment plans
