Purpose/Research Objectives
- Given there are many existing, untapped data resources, the purpose of this (FOA) is to provide an opportunity for investigators to integrate and analyze datasets in a cost-efficient manner, to yield novel findings, identify key scientific gaps, and inform future research investments focused on a better understanding of risk and protective factors at multiple levels (e.g., policy, society, community, school, family, individual) and ways to intervene to reduce mental health disparities and increase mental health equity.
- A better understanding of mechanisms and trajectories at multiple levels can facilitate the development of novel preventive and therapeutic interventions, the refinement of interventions that can be used to effectively reduce disparities and increase equity, and targets and timing of services interventions to address disparities in access, engagement, quality and outcomes of mental health services.
NIMH Specific Areas of Research Interest
- Projects proposed under this announcement could involve but are not limited to the integration and analyses of datasets from:
- Studies designed to specifically examine risk or protective factors for important mental health outcomes across different developmental stages among multiple disparities populations.
- Studies designed to examine mental illness trajectories within and across disparities populations.
- Studies designed to examine the role of resilience in mental health for populations with mental health disparities.
- Studies designed to answer questions about mental health, autism spectrum disorders, and associated behaviors, including substance use, within and across disparities populations.
- Prevention and treatment intervention studies to examine mental health outcomes for subpopulations and low base rate behaviors (e.g., suicide ideation and behaviors, psychosis).
Funding Information
- NIMH intends to commit $2 million in total costs in FY2023 to fund 3-5 awards.
