New Notice of Funding Opportunity: Effectiveness and Implementation Research for Post-Acute Interventions to Optimize Long-Term Mental Health Outcomes in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (R34 Clinical Trial Optional)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks research applications for effectiveness and implementation science on the post-acute (long-term or chronic) management of mental health conditions. This FOA aims to advance the development of novel and innovative implementation research to improve the availability and accessibility of post-acute services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). All research applications must propose a cost analysis of the intervention that is studied.

New Notice of Funding Opportunity: Suicide Prevention Across the Life Span in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (R34 Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage formative research and pilot testing of culturally appropriate innovative preventive, therapeutic, and service interventions to reduce the risk of suicide and suicide ideation and behavior (SIB), and/or non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and promote resilience for people across the life span in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). During the development and testing of interventions, attention to implementation factors is strongly encouraged. This could include formative work to measure and understand the feasibility, acceptability, adoption, fidelity, and costs of interventions to reduce the risk of suicide and SIB and/or NSSI and promote resilience for people across the life span in LMICs.

All projects must propose a research project element and a research capacity element. Researchers are expected to describe activities between institutions and the countries involved to strengthen research capacity in LMICs and enhance the potential for multidirectional knowledge and research advancements exchange.

NIMH encourages applicants from LMICs and welcomes applicants from the United States or other high-income countries (HICs) to partner with sites in LMICs.

New Notice of Funding Opportunity: Developing Measures to Advance Access and Quality in Global Mental Health Services (R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

NIMH seeks applications to support the development and pilot testing of outcomes-focused access and quality metrics in global mental health services research that could be reviewed, approved, and implemented by the relevant regulatory or governing domestic bodies of the country or countries where the research takes place. NIMH is interested in studies that take a theory-driven, empirical, and culturally appropriate approach to developing and testing measures utilizing real-world data. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to advance the development of novel and innovative research to assess outcomes mediated through changes in access to mental health care and quality of care across programs or clinical settings.
