Grants for Special District Governments

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research applications to develop and pilot test the effectiveness and implementation of family navigator models designed to promote early access, engagement and coordination of mental health treatment and services for children and adolescents who are experiencing early symptoms of mental health problems. For the purposes of this FOA, NIMH defines a family navigator model as a health care professional or paraprofessional whose role is to deploy a set of strategies designed to rapidly engage youth and families in needed treatment and services, work closely with the family and other involved treatment and service providers to optimize care and monitor the trajectory of mental health symptoms and outcomes over time. Applicants are encouraged to develop and pilot test the navigator models ability to promote early access, engagement and coordination of mental health treatment and services for children and adolescents as soon as symptoms are detected. Of interest are navigator models that coordinate needed care strategies, determine the personalized match to the level of needed service amount, frequency and intensity, and harness novel technologies to track and monitor the trajectory of clinical, functional and behavioral progress toward achieving intended services outcomes.This FOA is published in parallel to a companion R01 (Currently Temp-11229)

This funding opportunity supports research projects that develop innovative strategies to improve HIV prevention and treatment outcomes, particularly for marginalized populations, by addressing barriers and enhancing community engagement.

This grant provides funding to support postdoctoral researchers with clinical doctorate degrees as they transition to independent faculty positions in biomedical research.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to various organizations for the development and maintenance of specialized laboratory animal colonies and biological resources essential for advancing biomedical research.

This funding opportunity supports postdoctoral researchers with clinical doctorate degrees in transitioning to independent faculty positions while leading their own clinical trials in biomedical research.

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite R03 applications to support archiving and documenting existing data sets in order to enable secondary analysis of these data by the scientific community. The priority of this program is to archive data sets within the scientific mission of the NICHD; highest priority is to archive data collected with NICHD support.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for researchers and institutions to develop and optimize animal models that assess brain circuit engagement, aiming to improve therapeutic approaches for mental health conditions.

This funding opportunity supports researchers exploring brain activity related to mental health disorders through invasive techniques in human subjects, encouraging innovative approaches and interdisciplinary collaboration.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages studies that develop and test the effectiveness of strategies for implementation and sustainable delivery of evidence-based mental health treatments and services to improve mental health outcomes for underserved populations in under-resourced settings in the United States. Studies should identify and use innovative approaches to remediate barriers to provision, receipt, and/or benefit from evidence-based practices (EBPs) and generate new information about factors integral to achieving equity in mental health outcomes for underserved populations. Research generating new information about factors causing/reducing disparities are strongly encouraged, including due consideration of the needs of individuals across the life span.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research projects aimed at improving mental health services and addressing disparities in access and quality, particularly for underserved populations.

This funding opportunity supports research partnerships between technology developers and academic researchers to optimize and evaluate digital mental health interventions, particularly for underserved populations.
