The University of Washington received a $756,062 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2030. This grant funds development and testing of VOCALE LBD, a fully asynchronous, low-bandwidth, text-based psychoeducational online intervention specifically tailored for family caregivers of individuals with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). The intervention delivers eight-week moderated peer-to-peer discussions focused on LBD-specific caregiving challenges and problem-solving skills designed to reduce depressive symptoms among this caregiver population. The project addresses a critical gap in mental health support, as approximately 1.4 million Americans are diagnosed with LBD—the second most common degenerative dementia after Alzheimer's Disease—with nearly 50% of the 80% of individuals who receive family care experiencing depression. The research deliverables include a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the intervention's effectiveness, with pragmatic outcome measurements requested by clinical stakeholders. This intervention model responds to documented barriers affecting underserved caregiving populations by eliminating bandwidth requirements and accommodating lower digital literacy, thereby advancing equitable access to evidence-based mental health interventions.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
