Summary

This is a federal grant opportunity posted on Grants.gov seeking applications for innovative mental health services research that explicitly does not involve clinical trials. The R01 mechanism supports investigator-initiated research projects that advance understanding of mental health service delivery, access, quality, and outcomes. Applicants must propose studies that do not meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial. The award supports scientific inquiry into mental health systems, policies, and services at the population or systems level.

What they want

Funding of investigator-initiated research projects (R01 grant mechanism) focused on innovative mental health services research. All proposed studies must be designed such that they do not constitute clinical trials under NIH policy. Research may address topics such as mental health service delivery models, access to care, disparities, healthcare system performance, implementation science, policy analysis, or related mental health services topics. Clinical trial activities are explicitly excluded from this funding opportunity.
Technical requirements
  • Research must not meet NIH definition of a clinical trial
  • Must use R01 grant mechanism
  • Investigator-initiated research design required
  • Research must focus on mental health services (delivery, access, quality, outcomes, policy, or systems)
