This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announcement for a research grant (R01) focused on Navigator Emergency Department Diversion Models for Non-Urgent Mental Health Concerns, issued under solicitation number PAR-25-289. The funding opportunity is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242).

The NOFO seeks research proposals to evaluate and optimize family navigation models that divert non-urgent mental health cases from emergency departments. Eligible applicants include a broad range of entities including government bodies, educational institutions, nonprofits, for-profits, tribal organizations, and small businesses. The research must focus on models that incorporate mental health triage tools, facilitate engagement with mental health services, and provide family support and resources. The models should specifically address barriers to mental health help-seeking and establish linkages to appropriate care services. This grant requires a clinical trial component as part of the research methodology.
