Grant Award Summary The University of Miami's Office of Research Administration received a $650,483 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) on June 12, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2031. This award funds a Type 1 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial evaluating "Jump Start on the Go" (JS GO), an AI-enhanced digital early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) intervention designed to support teachers and improve children's psychosocial outcomes in community childcare centers. The intervention combines an AI-powered mobile application with human consultation support and was developed in English and Spanish using community-based participatory research methods to ensure cultural appropriateness across diverse populations. The research will conduct a rigorous cluster-randomized controlled trial involving 480 children across 24 childcare centers, comparing JS GO against alternative interventions using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework. The initiative aims to evaluate JS GO's impact on children's psychosocial functioning and mental health outcomes while simultaneously enhancing teacher competencies and building childcare center capacity for sustained mental health support. Building on successful pilot data demonstrating high feasibility and usability, this expanded trial will generate evidence on the effectiveness and implementation of digital-enhanced mental health consultation as a scalable solution to address gaps in evidence-based mental health resources within early childhood education settings.
