Drexel University received a $157,688 project grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), awarded on June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2031. This K01 mentored research award supports the development and pilot testing of a web-based digital mental health intervention (DMHI) designed specifically for Black male emerging adults with depression. The project employs community-based participatory research (CBPR) as its guiding framework, utilizing human-centered design principles informed by Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), the PEN-3 Model, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to develop a scalable, technology-enabled intervention that addresses documented disparities in depression detection, treatment access, and engagement among this population. The deliverables include formative research through focus groups with Black men and key stakeholders to identify engagement preferences; iterative co-design and usability testing of digital features; and a pilot study assessing feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact on engagement and depressive symptoms. This research advances NIMH strategic priorities by producing an evidence-based, community-rooted digital intervention intended to improve mental health outcomes and service accessibility in real-world settings. The project's ultimate products will include the validated DMHI platform and peer-reviewed dissemination of findings to support broader implementation of the intervention across mental health service delivery systems.Federal Grant Award Summary
