The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications encouraging foundational research projects that seek to refine and test valid methods for characterizing preteen suicide risk and protective factors across multiple domains, and for operationalizing suicide thoughts and behavior (STBs) and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among preteen youth (ages 8-12). An emphasis is placed on the inclusion of sub-populations of youth that experience health disparities and may have been underrepresented in prior youth suicide research. Studies may focus on developing new or adapting developmentally and culturally appropriate methods for assessing and characterizing risk and protective factors, examining the acceptability and utility of existing assessment methods, evaluating the relevance of risk and protective factors for diverse preteen youth and their families, modeling risk-factor trajectories, and refining sampling strategies. The research projects funded through this announcement will participate in a research consortium with other R01 recipients. In addition, each research site will work with the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) site (supported by a companion announcement) to share and analyze data, recommend candidate measures that will be included as common data elements in future research and practice contexts,and identify optimal approaches for sampling individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. This Notice of Intent to Publish (NOITP) is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects, and to consult with NIH in order to submit responsive applications. The NOFO is expected to be published in Summer 2023, with an expected application due date in Fall 2023. This NOFO will utilize the R01 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.

These projects will be funded under the Projects of National Significance (PNS) within the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The project will focus on achieving economic security and mobility for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The purpose of the project may include providing aid to transition youth with intellectual and developmental disabilties, funding employment and postsecondary education opportunties, and / or assiting with assistive technology devices that may needed to help meet employment goals. Overall, these projects will create opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to directly and fully contribute to, and participate in, all facets of community life; and support the development of national and State policies that reinforce and promote, with the support of families, guardians, advocates, and communities, of individuals with developmental disabilities, the self-determination, independence, productivity, and integration and inclusion in all facets of community life of such individuals.Projects funded under this announcement will work toward one or more of the following performance measures:Outcome Measure 1: Number of policies changed to improve the experience of people with ID/DD and their families Output Measure 1.1: Number of people who participated in policy advocacy activities Output Measure 1.2: Number of trainings about policy implemented Output Measure 1.3: Number of policy products created Output Measure 1.4: Number of times policy products were sharedOutcome Measure 2: Number of people with ID/DD and their families who report new or increased leadership roles Output Measure 2.1: Number of tools and resources created related to leadership by people with I/DD and their families Output Measure 2.2: Number of tools and resources shared related to leadership by people with I/DD and their families Output Measure 2.3: Percent of people with I/DD and their families who reported learning new leadership skills Output Measure 2.4: Number of people with I/DD and their family members who train or mentor others as leaders or advocatesOutcome Measure 3: Percent of people with ID/DD and their families who reported increased knowledge of supports needed to help them achieve the life they want Output Measure 3.1: Number of trainings held to increase knowledge of supports available to help achieve a desired life Output Measure 3.2: Number of resources created to increase knowledge of supports available to help individuals achieve the life they want Output Measure 3.3: Number of resources shared to increase knowledge of supports available to help individuals achieve the life they wantOutcome Measure 4: Number of data resources accessed Output Measure 4.1: Number of data resources created Output Measure 4.2: Number of activities to disseminate data

This funding opportunity supports research projects that explore the link between social isolation and suicide risk in older adults, encouraging innovative interventions and service delivery models to enhance social connections and mental health.

This grant provides funding for researchers to explore how HIV and substance use disorders affect protein interactions in microglia, aiming to uncover mechanisms that could lead to new treatments for these interconnected conditions.

This funding opportunity is designed to support research that develops and tests new ways to integrate HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, and substance use disorder prevention and treatment services to improve health outcomes for individuals at high risk or living with these conditions in the U.S.

The "Ending the Epidemic: New Models of Integrated HIV/AIDS, Addiction, and Primary Care Services" grant aims to fund research for developing and testing new care models that effectively combine HIV, addiction, and primary care services to improve health outcomes for individuals at high risk for or living with HIV, Hepatitis, and substance use disorders in the US.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research exploring how social isolation and loneliness contribute to suicide risk among older adults, particularly focusing on underrepresented communities and various social factors.

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) provides funding to conduct efficacy studies in an established rare disease preclinical model to demonstrate that a proposed therapeutic agent warrants further development. In addition to preclinical efficacy, accompanying pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies would be supported. Therapeutic agents include small molecules, biologics or biotechnology-derived products. The goal of this NOFO is to spur therapeutic development for rare diseases by advancing projects to the point where they would attract subsequent investment supporting full Investigational New Drug (IND) application development or progression to clinical trials in the case of repurposing or repositioning.
