This grant aims to reduce the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) in the US by improving early identification and referral to Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) services for individuals experiencing a first episode of psychosis (FEP). The focus is on identifying baseline DUP rates, mapping referral pathways to CSC care, addressing bottlenecks in the care process, and testing strategies to shorten DUP to meet WHO recommendations. Funding is available for planning research projects that aim to improve outcomes associated with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders by intervening in the critical early phase of psychotic illness.

| 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 planning research project grant applications that (1) identify a baseline rate of DUP in community or institutional settings; (2) map referral pathways to CSC care, (3) identify bottlenecks and gaps in the pathway to CSC care, and (4) develop and pilot test feasible strategies for substantially reducing DUP among persons with FEP. |
