Opportunity Summary:
The Mental Health Research Dissertation Grant to Increase Diversity (R36) is a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to strengthen and diversify the future mental health research workforce. Its central goal is to support doctoral candidates who are finishing their dissertations by providing targeted dissertation funding in any research area that fits within NIMH strategic priorities. In practical terms, the award is meant to help a student from a diverse background that is underrepresented in mental health research complete the doctoral research project, advance to degree completion, and strengthen their pathway into a research career in mental health-related fields.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant mechanism under the NIH R36 activity code, which is specifically geared toward dissertation support. The associated funding activity category is Health, and the relevant CFDA listing is 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to commit institutional matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad on the institutional side, reflecting NIH-wide inclusivity about where strong research training and dissertation work can occur. Eligible applicant organizations include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity also explicitly includes several categories of institutions often central to diversity and access in higher education, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and eligible agencies of the federal government. Notably, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may also apply. In addition, foreign components are permitted as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, which matters for dissertation projects that involve international collaborations, data sources, or research activities outside the United States.
