About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health closed the Mental Health National Research Service Awards for Research Training program (CFDA 93.282) to new funding in fiscal year 2013, with the most recent grant award dated March 14, 2013. This program is no longer available for new applications and has been consolidated into CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants.
Historically, the program funded predoctoral and postdoctoral research training in mental health and related fields, including basic and clinical neuroscience, genetics, developmental, behavioral, clinical, epidemiological, prevention, treatment, and services research relevant to mental illnesses, behavioral disorders, and HIV/AIDS. The program provided both institutional training grants and individual fellowships, with explicit emphasis on recruiting trainees from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Over the program's lifetime, 2,538 awards were made, distributing $248.8 million in federal dollars obligated. The National Institutes of Health accounted for 2,507 awards ($246.2 million), with the remainder funded through other Department of Health and Human Services mechanisms. The portfolio was dominated by Project Grants (95 percent of awards), with a smaller share of Block Grants (5 percent). Award volume declined sharply in the final years before consolidation—from 127 awards in 2009 to just 4 in 2013.
Recent awards before closure reflected the program's dual focus on basic neuroscience and clinical research. Representative grants included postdoctoral fellowships investigating prefrontal-cerebellar interactions in cognitive function, precursors to personality disorders in adolescence, and amygdalo-striatal contributions to fear responses, along with predoctoral grants on stress and anxiety disorders, particularly among underrepresented populations. Individual fellowship awards typically ranged from roughly $30,000 to $100,000 per grant.
Organizations with active or recently completed awards under 93.282 should transition applications to CFDA 93.242 for continued funding support in mental health research training.
Objective and description
- Objective
Prior to FY2013, this programs objectives included to ensure a continuing and adequate supply of well-trained scientists who are able to conduct research on mental health problems. The program provides training grants to institutions and fellowships to individuals at both the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels. There are awards to medical students proposing to acquire doctoral research degrees in addition to their medical degrees. Awards are made for training in the areas of basic and clinical neuroscience, genetics, developmental, behavioral, clinical, epidemiological, prevention, treatment and services research relevant to mental illnesses, behavioral disorders, and HIV/AIDS. These programs encourage training individuals in mental health research who are from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, or individuals disadvantaged because of educational or other circumstances that have inhibited their ability to pursue such a career. Starting in FY2013, the 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants CFDA program reflects the consolidation of NIMH's former CFDA numbers, 93.282 Mental Health National Research Service Awards for Research Training and 93.281 Mental Health Research Career/Scientist Development Awards into 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants. This program will not be used to fund new projects. Please refer to 93.242 for new funding opportunities.
