This grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is for supporting innovative pilot research in mental health services. Its primary purpose is to encourage studies that align with NIMH’s strategic priorities for services research but do not involve clinical trials or serve as an immediate precursor to testing a service intervention. While NIMH typically emphasizes an experimental therapeutics model for intervention studies, this opportunity recognizes that valuable, mission-relevant areas of services research exist outside the clinical trial framework. The funding aims to foster foundational pilot work that advances understanding within mental health services, contributing to future developments in the field without directly leading to intervention testing.

| Description: | The purpose of this Notice of Funding Announcement (NOFO) is to encourage pilot research that is not an immediate precursor to testing a service intervention but is consistent with NIMH priorities for services research. While NIMH now requires use of an experimental therapeutics model for all intervention studies, there is recognition that some mission-relevant areas of services research do not involve clinical trials. |
