Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA MH 11 061
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is offering a funding opportunity aimed at improving mental health screening and treatment for individuals with mental disorders in the justice system. This initiative encourages research grant applications from institutions that plan to conduct pilot studies to explore effective strategies for delivering evidence-based mental health services and suicide prevention in both adult and juvenile justice settings.
The focus areas include situations of incarceration or detention, community corrections (such as parole and probation), and programs that help transition individuals back into the community. A significant emphasis is placed on research regarding mental health treatment during incarceration. Projects should aim to assess strategies for mental health screening, the delivery of effective treatments, and adherence to such treatments within justice settings. Research targeting mental health disorders prevalent in these environments, as well as suicide prevention during incarceration, is particularly encouraged.
The opportunity employs the NIMH Pilot Intervention and Services Research (R34) award mechanism, with plans to allocate approximately 3 million dollars to fund four to five awards. This funding initiative runs parallel to a similar FOA under the Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism.Apply for RFA MH 11 061
