The National Institute of Mental Health is issuing a Notice of Special Interest for research to strengthen the mental health response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and future public health emergencies, including pandemics.

- The effect on mental health of both the virus itself and public health measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19
- Research addressing the intersection of COVID-19, mental health, and HIV treatment and prevention
- Development and testing of technology to enable practical, scalable, and sustainable mental health screening, triage, and prevention and treatment interventions, particularly for high-risk populations
