Notice NOT-OD-21-093 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-OD-21-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) and participating NIH Institutes and Centers invite institutional career development award applications for Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Career Development Programs, hereafter termed "Programs". Programs will support mentored research career development of junior faculty members, known as BIRCWH Scholars, who have recently completed clinical training or postdoctoral fellowships, and who will be engaged in interdisciplinary basic, translational, behavioral, clinical, and/or health services research relevant to the health of women and, where appropriate, the use of both sexes to better understand the influence of sex as a biological variable on health and disease.
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-21-188 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this R34 FOA is to provide resources for evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of novel approaches that are uniquely tailored to the risk profiles of these populations, that will improve outcomes and modify health risk behavior. Resources may also be used for obtaining the preliminary data needed as a prerequisite to a larger-scale (efficacy or effectiveness) services study. The goal is to support research that develops and tests broadly implementable service system interventions to rapidly identify and effectively respond to reduce suicide and suicidal behavior in various groups of at-risk youth. Specifically, the goals of this FOA are to: 1) develop a multi-level service system intervention that coordinates suicide risk identification, evaluation, and linkage to needed treatment and services for a specifically identified at-risk youth group; 2) test the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention in detecting and reducing suicide risk and suicidal behavior in the at-risk youth group; and 3) demonstrate the intervention's implementation and potential for future uptake in underserved, under-resourced community settings where additional at-risk youth are most likely to receive care. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to develop and test the effectiveness of evidence-based strategies for detecting and preventing suicide and suicidal behavior among at-risk youth. It focuses on systems interventions to improve outcomes for youth and is not intended to support the development of new screening tools or assessment instruments.

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-21-186 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This announcement for an R34 FOA solicits pilot studies that develop and test the effectiveness of multi-level systems interventions that predict suicide risk and/or connect. Black youth who are at risk for suicide and suicidal behaviors, to needed treatment and services to prevent suicide. The purpose of the companion R01 FOA is to provide resources for evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of novel community-based, systems level approaches to improving outcomes, assessing and modifying health risk behavior, and for obtaining the preliminary data needed as a prerequisite to a larger-scale (efficacy or effectiveness) services study. These must incorporate community or stakeholder advisory boards (which include members of the communities served, providers, youth, etc.), to help inform the development of the intervention.
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-21-185 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The announcement would solicit pilot studies that develop and test the effectiveness of multi-level systems interventions that predict suicide risk and/or connect. Black youth who are at risk for suicide and suicidal behaviors, to needed treatment and services to prevent suicide. There would be a companion R01 announcement.

Funding Opportunity PAS-21-216 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The primary objective of this FOA is to solicit research projects with the aim of elucidating the role of positive affect and related processes in suicidal individuals and evaluating modifiable behavioral and neural targets. Specifically, studies should include clinical populations with high risk of suicide, suicide attempters or acutely suicidal individuals, and may also include non-suicidal patients, high risk individuals in an absence of diagnosis, or healthy control groups. Projects across developmental spectrum are encouraged. Research projects should aim to 1) specify a construct of interest either in terms of research domain criteria: positive valence system (RDoC PVS), or a symptom relevant construct, such as an anhedonia/ anhedonia subtype, cognitive process such as present/future reward decision making, generating reasons for living in the context of anticipation of positive experiences, etc. 2) demonstrate that measures of the construct are reliable and reproducible and engage brain subsystem relevant to positive affect, and/or 3) show active modification of targeted brain system and behavioral measures of the construct through behavioral training or other means such as use of non-invasive neuromodulation, pharmacological or psychosocial therapeutic probes. Behavioral tasks used may include both novel and established tasks within the RDoC positive valence domain (e.g. reward sensitivity, reward valuation, and reward learning) and/or tasks probing components and subconstructs of hedonic and related processes. Use of measures of the dynamic changes in PA is strongly encouraged to further establish co-occurrence with other risk factors and suicidality.
