This grant aims to fund research on translating and integrating peer-to-peer support interventions into the routines of Service Members (SMs) to improve psychological health readiness and address negative behavioral health issues, including suicide behaviors. Applicants are encouraged to evaluate the efficacy of peer support programs tailored for the military, incorporating public health paradigms and considering military culture nuances such as rank, gender, and occupation requirements. Successful interventions should be mindful of time and contextual constraints while incorporating interactive elements, potentially electronic or virtual. The goal is to seamlessly integrate support mechanisms into SMs’ daily lives to enhance engagement and reduce burden. Application deadline: Jan 19, 2018.

| Description: | This funding opportunity seeks applications to support examinations of efficacy and effectiveness of peer-to-peer support interventions to translate and integrate content into the everyday routines of SMs to enhance psychological health readiness and mitigate negative behavioral health issues including suicide behaviors. Applications should focus on research to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of peer support programs that could be implemented in the military. Such interventions should leverage public health paradigms such as the social-ecological model, behavior change theory, and adult learning theory. Considerations such as how peer-to-peer support would accommodate military culture, including varied ranks and structure, gender, and occupation requirements should be taken into account. Interventions should be sensitive to the time and contextual constraints associated with occupation and lifestyle. Interventions that include an electronic or virtual component will be considered, but applicants should demonstrate that such components will ensure the interventions are interactive and engaging. Studies should consider ways to integrate content into the everyday routines of SMs to decrease burden and increase buy-in. |
