Advanced Centers for Intervention and/or Services Research (ACISR) (P30)
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invites research grant applications to support core infrastructure for conducting intervention and/or services research directly addressing the mission of NIMH, which is to reduce the burden of mental and behavioral disorders through research on mind, brain, and behavior. In particular, this initiative addresses the mission of the NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research (DSIR), as well as that the NIMH Geriatrics Research Branch. The DSIR supports two main areas of research: a) intervention research to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacologic, psychosocial, somatic, rehabilitative and combination treatment or preventive interventions on mental and behavior disorders, and b) mental health services research that consists of interdisciplinary investigations of the predictors, processes and outcomes of mental health services, including availability, access and acceptability; organization; decision-making; service delivery, utilization and quality of care; costs, cost-effectiveness and financing of mental health care, and the dissemination and implementation of effective interventions into service systems. The Geriatrics Research Branch supports intervention research relevant to older adults. The scope of this initiative is broad and meant to support investigators involved in treatment, prevention, and/or services research. Thus, this center grant mechanism can be utilized for a variety of research activities, such as controlled clinical trials of treatment or preventive interventions, research aimed at optimization and personalization of care, evaluation and improvement of the safety of interventions, research on the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions, evaluation and improvement of mental health services, or economics of mental health services. Along the spectrum from effectiveness to services research, the applicant should indicate and justify the specific focus of the center that is being proposed. Novel methodological and organizational approaches, and the creation of multidisciplinary research teams are especially encouraged. Based on the type and stage of development of the research activities being pursued, applicants can propose collaborations between academic investigators and relevant partners and justify support of the collaboration as part of the center.

Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS) (P50)
The Centers of Excellence in Genomic Sciences (CEGS) program establishes academic Centers for advanced genome research. Each CEGS grant supports a multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team to develop innovative genomic approaches to address a particular biological problem. A CEGS project will address a critical issue in genomic science, proposing a solution that would be a very substantial advance. Thus, the research conducted at these Centers will entail substantial risk, balanced by outstanding scientific and management plans and very high potential payoff. A CEGS will focus on the development of novel technological or computational methods for the production or analysis of comprehensive data sets, or on a particular genome-scale biological problem, or on other ways to develop and use genomic approaches for understanding biological systems. Exploiting its outstanding scientific plan and team, each CEGS will nurture genomic science at its institution by facilitating the interaction of investigators from different disciplines, and by providing training of new investigators will expand the pool of professional genomics scientists and engineers.

Functioning of People with Mental Disorders (R01)
Although considerable advances have been made in improving the symptoms associated with mental disorders, symptom improvement is often only modestly associated with improvements in daily functioning (i.e., the performance of social, occupational, and instrumental tasks of daily living), and most current treatments have limited impact on the functioning and participation of those with mental disorders. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is the application of biobehavioral science methods and approaches to: a) develop and refine definitions and measures of function, disability, and daily participation relevant to those with mental disorders; b) understand the ecological mechanisms, independent of symptom severity, that contribute to functioning and disability in this population; and c) develop and test novel interventions that specifically and directly target functional capacity and performance deficits of this population. Emphasis will be on the application of basic behavioral processes (e.g., cognition, affect, knowledge, attitudes, motivation, learning, decision-making, interpersonal processes), and environmental parameters (e.g., social support, structural adaptations, community involvement) that influence functional outcome.

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Research Project (R01) grant applications from applicant organizations to develop theoretically grounded approaches to prevention of HIV infection and transmission that incorporate biobehavioral approaches in studies that are culturally appropriate. Biobehavioral approaches may be biomedical, or they may consist of behavioral interventions using biological markers of efficacy. Sociocultural appropriateness involves, at minimum, application of knowledge of the norms, beliefs and values of potential research subjects in varied contexts, and an appreciation of culture as dynamic. It is anticipated that such knowledge will improve both the quality and applicability of research among the diverse populations affected by the pandemic, in the US or abroad. Intervention and pre-intervention studies are welcomed, but descriptive ethnographic and epidemiological research is still needed in some areas. For example, descriptive research may delineate the impact of cultural variables on behaviors that impede or promote biological markers (e.g., seroconversion), lead to a better understanding of ethical concerns in biomedical preventive studies, or may illuminate as yet unrecognized issues concerned with adherence to a prevention interventions. Intervention studies should evaluate the efficacy of biomedical interventions, or of behavioral interventions that also use biological variables, in light of the sociocultural context.

Interventions for Suicidal Youth
The Institutes invite research grant applications to study interventions to reduce suicidal behaviors in youth. Although youth suicidal behavior has been recognized as a significant public health problem for several decades, there are few effective treatments or preventive interventions that have been developed and specifically tested to reduce suicidal behavior in youth. The purpose of this announcement is to support efforts to develop and test such interventions that build on both risk and protective factors. This PA identifies the need to test the effectiveness of interventions for reducing suicidal behavior from a number of approaches, ranging from broad-based community or school-based prevention efforts, to more targeted approaches that reduce suicidal behavior in youth with identified mental disorders or substance use disorders (SUD).

Lab to Marketplace: Tools for Brain and Behavioral Research (SBIR [R43/R44])
The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research is a framework to enhance cooperative activities among the NIH Office of the Director and 15 NIH Institutes and Centers that support research on the nervous system. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is released in affiliation with the Neuroscience Blueprint, with Institutes and Centers participating independently, and with participation by Institutes and Centers that are not part of the Blueprint. This FOA encourages the translation of technologies for brain or behavioral research from academic and other non-small business research sectors to the marketplace. Solicited from Small Business Concerns (SBCs) are Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications that propose to further develop, make more robust, and make more user-friendly such technologies in preparation for commercial dissemination. It is expected that this activity will require partnerships and close collaboration between the original developers of these technologies and SBCs, which may be accomplished in any of a number of ways, including the use of multiple principle investigators.

Mechanisms Underlying the Links between Psychosocial Stress, Aging, the Brain and the Body (R01)
This FOA encourages multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research to elucidate the mechanistic links between psychosocial stress and health in aging, as well as how the aging process and age-related diseases affect the responses to psychosocial stressors. Generally, research should be focused on (1) aging and how neural mechanisms respond to psychosocial stress and affect other body systems, (2) characterizing the behavioral, psychological and social mechanisms and pathways involved in transducing psychosocial stressors into health outcomes, (3) how stressors modulate physiological process underlying life-span, immune mechanisms, and metabolism, and (4) how psychosocial stress contributes to the development or progression of geriatric syndromes, chronic medical conditions, and disabilities in later life. Research is strongly encouraged that aims to identify appropriate targets for intervention, at any level of analysis, from societal to molecular. Research spanning multiple levels of analysis is particularly encouraged. Research focused on oxidative stress or on environmental or physical stressors of a non-psychosocial nature is not appropriate to this FOA.

Research on Co-Morbid Mental and Other Physical Disorders (R01)
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) solicit grant applications that propose studies on the co-occurrence and co-morbidity of mental disorders with other physical disorders. An important goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to identify potent, modifiable risk and protective factors amenable to intervention, and to translate the results of such studies into initial tests of theory-driven prevention and early intervention strategies. Risk and protective factors include biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental contributors to co-morbid disorders. This FOA encourages research on the efficacy, effectiveness, long-term outcome and safety of preventive, treatment, and rehabilitative interventions across the lifespan; clinical trials and intervention studies targeting functional and symptomatic outcomes adapting pharmacological, psychosocial, behavioral, or environmental approaches individually or in combination; studies to improve the recruitment and retention of individuals with co-morbid disorders in real-world practice settings; and research on the impact of separate organizational systems and different financing mechanism for mental and other physical disorders. Major emphasis is placed on the identification of principles motivating and sustaining behavior changes critical to reducing the risk for co-occurring disorders. Studies are particularly encouraged of mental disorders that are co-morbid with other physical disorders that are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States, including heart disease, cancer, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and diabetes, for example. The NIMH and NINR will, however, consider applications that focus on any combination of co-morbid mental and other physical disorder across the lifespan; it is incumbent upon the applicant to demonstrate the public health significance of the study by describing the severity and/or prevalence of the disorders studied.

Research on Interventions for Child Abuse and Neglect (R01)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research project grant (R01) applications focused on conducting efficacy and effectiveness trials of child abuse and neglect interventions. Specifically, this FOA solicits grant applications that include various levels of interventions. For those interventions that need preliminary research, applicants should consider additional mechanisms, which are used to establish efficacy, including the R21 and R34, as appropriate. However, given the public health need for children and families who experience the negative effects of child abuse and neglect, interventions in which preliminary developmental/exploratory work has already been undertaken, and pilot studies, or in some cases efficacy trials, have demonstrated positive change are strongly encouraged for R01 grant applications under this FOA. Of particular interest is the development of large scale trials designed to target either or both the victims or perpetrators of child abuse and neglect, including preventive interventions. Child abuse and neglect is a complex public health issue likely caused by a myriad of factors, including individual-, family-, and community-level elements. Thus, a research program focused on understanding and addressing these problems must necessarily draw upon interdisciplinary theories and approaches. One of the goals of this FOA is to bring together multi-disciplinary and translational perspectives encompassing basic biomedical, behavioral and social science research in mental health, physical health, public health and prevention, alcohol and substance abuse, neurology, injury, trauma and child development, to advance our knowledge of child abuse and neglect. Only projects proposing rigorous scientific research designs will be considered; service demonstrations or other types of service programs are not eligible for funding under this FOA.

Using Systems Science Methodologies to Protect and Improve Population Health (R21)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is being issued by the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with participation from the following NIH components: FIC, NCI, NIA, NICHD, NCCAM, NHLBI, NIEHS, NIMH, NIAAA, NIDCR, NIDA, ODP, and ODS. This FOA solicits Exploratory/Developmental (R21) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to apply one or more specific system science methodologies (identified in Section I.1 Background , of this announcement) to public health and health care systems problems and contribute knowledge that will enhance effective decision making around the development of and prioritization of policies, interventions, and programs to improve population health, especially where resources are limited and only a limited number of programs/policies/interventions can be implemented. Applicants are encouraged to submit projects that tackle policy resistant health problems (i.e., ones in which the effects of planned interventions, programs or policies tend to be delayed, diluted or defeated by responses of the system to the intervention itself) using a systems science methodology.
