The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant to explore the complex, bidirectional relationships between social media use and adolescent mental health. This grant is for researchers seeking to understand how online platforms influence psychiatric symptoms, risks, and resilience for psychopathology in young people aged 10-20. The NOFO specifically defines social media as internet-based communication platforms enabling user interaction and information sharing. This opportunity focuses on adolescents due to their growing digital access and autonomy. Importantly, this grant will not fund effectiveness or efficacy trials, focusing instead on foundational understanding of these intricate influences on adolescent well-being.
