The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Florida International University $809,160 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and test novel approaches to supporting elementary school students with ADHD within multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The project, titled "Novel Approaches to Supporting Students with ADHD in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support," addresses behavioral difficulties in the classroom that inhibit learning among children with ADHD. The research will recruit 288 elementary school students (grades 1–4) from participating school districts and deliver a lead-in tier 2 intervention consisting of a daily report card intervention to all referred children. Students who continue to need additional behavioral supports will receive tier 3 interventions, which will be allocated through random assignment to either school-as-usual or an academic/behavior competency-focused approach. The tier 3 intervention will create a positive behavioral support classroom to improve behavioral supports provided to students with ADHD within existing school-based problem-solving teams. The work is situated within everyday school procedures and leverages MTSS frameworks to enhance universal, targeted, and indicated school mental health and educational supports, with particular focus on developing the most under-resourced tier 3 level of MTSS. Performance occurs in Miami, Florida, with a period of performance extending from September 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. This is a project grant, which supports research over a specified period not to exceed five years.
