Opportunity Summary:
The Mental Health Research Dissertation Grant to Enhance Workforce Diversity (R36) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity administered through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Its main goal is to strengthen and broaden the future mental health research workforce by supporting doctoral students from diverse backgrounds who are underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences research. The grant is designed specifically to help recipients complete their dissertation research, and it supports projects that fall within NIMH strategic priorities, meaning the topic area must align with the institute's mission and research interests in mental health.
This program uses the NIH R36 mechanism, which is a dissertation award, and it provides up to two years of support focused on finishing the doctoral research project. In practical terms, it is meant to fund the final, dissertation phase of a PhD (or equivalent research doctorate) by helping cover costs tied directly to completing the proposed research. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health funding area and is listed under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide institutional or third-party matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is broad at the institutional level and includes many types of U.S.-based applicant organizations, such as public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and various special district or regional organizations. The FOA also explicitly notes eligibility for a range of institution types that often serve underrepresented communities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. While U.S. institutions can apply, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply as applicant organizations, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. However, foreign components are allowed as defined in NIH policy, which generally means specific parts of the research may involve foreign collaborations or activities if they meet NIH requirements and are justified.
The funding opportunity number is PAR-15-181, and it was originally posted on April 8, 2015.
