This grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is for pilot effectiveness projects aimed at evaluating therapeutic and service delivery interventions for post-acute management of mental health conditions. The trials should assess the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and preliminary effectiveness of approaches designed to consolidate gains, manage residual symptoms, prevent relapse, and promote appropriate service use. This funding opportunity supports research to determine if interventions engage their presumed targets and mechanisms, while also gathering essential preliminary data. The findings from these pilot studies will inform the design of larger, definitive effectiveness trials focused on optimizing longer-term outcomes for individuals with mental health conditions. This initiative seeks to advance evidence-based post-acute care.

| Description: | NIMH seeks applications for pilot effectiveness projects to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of therapeutic and service delivery interventions for the post-acute management of mental health conditions that are matched to the stage of illness in terms of both their focus (e.g., consolidating and maintaining gains from initial treatment, managing residual symptoms/impairment, preventing relapse, promoting adherence and appropriate service use) and intensity/burden. In this pilot phase of effectiveness research, the trial should be designed to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and potential effectiveness of the approach; to address whether the intervention engages the target(s)/mechanisms(s) that is/are presumed to underlie the intervention effects; and to obtain preliminary data needed as a pre-requisite to a larger-scale effectiveness trial (e.g., comparative effectiveness study, practical trial) designed to definitely test the effectiveness of interventions to improve post-acute outcomes. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports pilot effectiveness research to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety and preliminary indications of effectiveness of post-acute phase intervention approaches and inform the design of definitive effectiveness trials. Support for fully-powered, definitive effectiveness studies focused on post-acute phase interventions is provided via the R01 currently TEMP-24813. |
