Funding Opportunities
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invites applications for formative research and pilot testing of culturally appropriate preventive and therapeutic interventions to detect and reduce the risk of suicide ideation and behavior (SIB), and/or non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) across the life span in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
More information can be found at the following link:
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), in partnership with the Fogarty International Center (FIC) and other NIH Institutes, invites applications for research on the development and/or innovative application of cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable digital technologies to improve the accessibility, delivery, quality or effectiveness of mental health care and/or HIV prevention or care in LMICs to address the global mental health burden. Through this mechanism, NIMH provides support for up to two years (R21 phase) for technology development and feasibility studies, followed by a possible transition to expanded research support (R33 phase) for validation, larger-scale feasibility, and effectiveness studies. Transition to the R33 depends on the completion of applicant-defined milestones, as well as program priorities and the availability of funds. All applicants must address both the R21 and R33 phases.

Michael J. Stirratt, Ph.D. (for HIV/AIDS applications) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Telephone: 240-627-3875 Email: stirrattm@nih.gov
Mesfin A. Bekalu, Ph.D. (for mental health applications) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Telephone: 240-380-0341 Email: Mesfin.bekalu@nih.gov
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invites applications for Institutional Training Grants (T32) and Research Education Grants (R25). These institutional grants provide research training, mentoring, and educational opportunities at an institutional level to support multiple scientists and clinical researchers at various levels of training.
NIMH encourages innovative Institutional Training Grant (T32) applications to support research training programs within the research areas and research priorities supported by the Institute. Research training programs are designed to allow the Training Program Director / Principal Investigator (Training PD/PI) to select the trainees (predoctoral and/or postdoctoral fellows) and develop a curriculum of study and research experiences necessary to provide high quality research training. The grant offsets the cost of stipends, tuition, and fees, and training related expenses including health insurance for the appointed trainees in accordance with the approved NIH support levels.
NIMH supports Research Education Grants (R25) designed to provide Institutional support for creative and innovative research education programs. Supported activities include 1) the development of programs to support research-oriented residents during psychiatry residency, 2) the development of short-courses, and 3) the development of mentoring networks for individuals.
For applications involving global mental health training and/or education, please contact Susannah Allison, Ph.D. at allisonsu@mail.nih.gov
'This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) solicits competitive revision applications that focus on data reuse and secondary data analysis in NIH-funded data repositories and knowledgebases to advance scientific inquiry and address health research questions.

Updates from CGMHR
The NIH Office of Extramural Research will host a webinar on "Grants Policy Updates for Fiscal Year 2025" on Thursday, October 17, 2024, from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET. This session will cover key policy changes, updates, and requirements impacting NIH grant applicants and recipients. Participants will learn about compliance standards, application procedures, and funding mechanisms. Whether experienced or new to NIH funding, this webinar offers a valuable opportunity to stay informed on evolving grant policies.
On June 20, 2024, the Center for Global Mental Health Research (CGMHR) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) hosted a webinar in which NIMH Review Officers (Dr. Aileen Schulte, Scientific Review Officer; Dr. Nick Gaiano, Chief of the Extramural Review Branch; and Dr. Jasenka Borzan, Referral and Scientific Review Officer) discussed NIH’s Definition of a Clinical Trial.
A recording of this webinar and all past webinars from CGMHR can be viewed here
Join us for a special virtual event celebrating World Mental Health Day 2024, on October 10, from 8:00 – 9:00 AM EDT. Hosted by the U.S. Government Mental Health Interagency Community of Practice, this virtual event—organized by the CDC in partnership with NIMH and other U.S. agencies—will spotlight this year’s theme, "It’s Time to Focus on Mental Health in the Workplace." The program will feature a presentation on the 2024 theme and remarks from senior leaders of various U.S. government agencies, who will discuss their organizations' research, practices, and policy initiatives related to global mental health.
The National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) is looking to expand the pool of peer reviewers with mental health researchers who can bring diverse perspectives to the peer review process. Specifically, NIMH invites researchers with expertise and experience in global mental health research to join the institute’s peer review committee to assist with the review of applications dealing with global mental health.
Benefits of serving as a reviewer:
-
Gain a better understanding of how applications are evaluated.
-
Have an opportunity to network with eminent researchers who are on the panel.
-
Have an academic and/or professional doctorate degree.
-
Have at least 5 years post-doctoral experience.
-
Demonstration of an active research program (e.g., publications, funded studies).
