About this opportunity
The National Institute of Mental Health is forecasting a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit applications for pilot effectiveness trials of peer support interventions targeting suicide risk reduction in clinical and community practice settings; applications are not currently being solicited, and no specific application deadline is provided at this forecast stage.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations not federally recognized, state and county governments, public and Indian housing authorities, public and private higher education institutions, independent school districts, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, and for-profit organizations. The opportunity will use the R01 activity code under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants).
This pilot phase of effectiveness research should evaluate feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and potential effectiveness of peer support approaches; assess whether the intervention engages presumed underlying mechanisms; and generate preliminary data required before launching a larger-scale effectiveness trial. NIMH encourages applications combining expertise in peer support models for suicide prevention, intervention development and clinical trials methodology, and implementation science. Collaborative investigations are explicitly encouraged.
The NIMH will apply standard peer review and funding criteria: technical merit as determined by peer review, availability of funds, and relevance to program priorities. All competitive applications compete on the basis of scientific and technical merit, program relevance, and program balance. Applications other than fellowships must also be reviewed by the National Advisory Mental Health Council. Standard NIH project period support does not exceed five years; applications from 180 to 270 days from submission receive a determination. For-profit organizations expending $500,000 or more under HHS awards during their fiscal year are subject to audit requirements under OMB 2 CFR 200 and 45 CFR 75, Subpart F.
Forecast synopsis
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on the preliminary effectiveness of peer support intervention strategies for reducing suicide risk in clinical and community practice settings. In this pilot phase of effectiveness research, the trial should be designed to (1) evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and potential effectiveness of the approach; (2) to address whether the intervention engages the factors presumed to underlie the intervention effects; and (3) to obtain preliminary data needed as a pre-requisite to a larger-scale effectiveness trial designed to definitively test the effectiveness of the intervention. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the R01 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into developing and testing scalable and sustainable peer support interventions in clinical and community practice settings focused on suicide risk reduction are encouraged to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in peer support models for suicide prevention, intervention development and clinical trials research methodology, and implementation science related to developing and testing suicide prevention strategies will be encouraged, and investigators with expertise in these areas should consider applying for this NOFO.
