National Institute of Mental Health Grant: Enhancing Care for Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychotic Disorders

This grant from the National Institute of Mental Health aims to fund research that will improve intervention strategies for individuals at risk of developing psychotic disorders to prevent psychosis onset and address other associated difficulties like mood syndromes and substance abuse disorders. The initiative seeks proposals for pilot feasibility studies, exploration of intervention mechanisms, and development of evidence-based early psychosis intervention models for community-based settings. Applications should contribute to enhancing care and support a step-wise approach to early psychosis intervention in the United States. Closing date for submissions is Jan 06, 2014.

Description::	Given the highly disruptive and disabling nature of psychotic disorders, early intervention has been recommended as a means of preventing psychosis onset among at-risk individuals, as well as averting other adverse outcomes such as mood syndromes, substance abuse disorders, and functional decline in social, academic, and vocational domains. This funding opportunity announcement, along with the companion announcements, aims to support research that will inform a step-wise approach to early psychosis intervention in the United States. The goals of this initiative are to encourage applications that (1) propose intervention development and pilot feasibility studies of strategies to target symptomatic and functional difficulties associated with clinical risk states for psychosis; (2) explore mediators/mechanisms of action of these interventions; (3) contribute to an evidence base to inform stepped-care models of early psychosis intervention; and (4) determine the feasibility for implementing such approaches in community-based treatment settings.
