The Department of Health is offering a grant to enhance early intervention for psychosis by reducing the duration of untreated psychosis in the United States. With approximately 100,000 adolescents and young adults experiencing a first episode of psychosis annually, the grant aims to support research projects that test practical strategies to shorten the delay between onset of symptoms and initiation of care. By focusing on early identification, rapid referral to evidence-based Coordinated Specialty Care, and effective engagement in services, the grant seeks to preempt functional deterioration and align with the World Health Organization’s recommendation of reducing duration of untreated psychosis to 3 months or less.

| Description: | Approximately 100,000 adolescents and young adults in the United States experience a first episode of psychosis (FEP) every year. The early phase of psychotic illness is widely viewed as a critical opportunity for indicated prevention, and a chance to alter the downward trajectory and poor outcomes associated with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Unfortunately, numerous studies find a substantial delay between the onset of psychotic symptoms and the initiation of FEP care; in the U.S. treatment is typically delayed between one and three years. Early identification of FEP, rapid referral to evidence-based Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) for early psychosis, and effective engagement in CSC services are essential to shortening the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and pre-empting the functional deterioration common in psychotic disorders. The World Health Organization advocates reducing DUP to 3 months or less. Accordingly, this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks research project grant applications that test practical, reproducible strategies for substantially reducing DUP among persons with FEP in the U.S. by eliminating bottlenecks or closing gaps in the pathway to CSC services. |
