About this opportunity

The National Institute of Mental Health is soliciting applications for psychosocial therapeutic and preventive intervention development using an R61/R33 phased clinical trial framework, with applications due October 15, 2027.

Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, for-profit organizations, higher education institutions (public and private), tribal governments (federally and nonfederally recognized), state and local governments, and other entities including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, non-domestic entities, and U.S. territories or possessions. No cost share or matching requirement is stated.

The R61 phase provides up to two years of support for target engagement evaluation and establishment of intervention parameters. The R33 phase provides up to three years of support to replicate target engagement from prior studies and test the association between target engagement and clinical outcome change. Expected number of awards and award ceiling are not specified.

The program emphasizes the experimental therapeutics approach, translating emergent research in basic, behavioral, cognitive, affect, and neuropsychological science into preventative or therapeutic interventions. Applications are evaluated for scientific and technical merit by peer review, with the National Advisory Mental Health Council also reviewing competitive applications. Funding decisions consider technical merit, program relevance, program balance, and availability of funds.

The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) administered by the National Institute of Mental Health.

Synopsis

Development of Psychosocial Therapeutic and Preventive Interventions for Mental Disorders (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required).

This RFA will provide up to two years of support for evaluation of target engagement and establishment of intervention parameters, and up to three years of support to replicate target engagement from prior studies and to test the association between target engagement and change in clinical outcome(s).
