Addressing Suicide Research Gaps: Understanding Mortality Outcomes (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed )
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-20-305 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks to leverage data from existing basic, clinical, and intervention research on suicide risk and behaviors as well as social media and healthcare records data, by encouraging the integration of existing data sets for novel secondary analyses aimed at identifying potential biological, experiential, and other predictors and moderators of suicide risk. The use of dimensional variables and inclusion of multiple levels of analyses is particularly encouraged.
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-20-307 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks to support efforts focused on linking pertinent data from healthcare system records (e.g., suicide attempt events) to mortality data so that a more accurate understanding of the risk factors for, and the burden of, suicide among those seen in structured healthcare settings can be discerned.
Notice NOT-CA-20-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-20-044 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) T32 Institutional Training grants to eligible, domestic institutions to enhance predoctoral and postdoctoral research training to ensure that a diverse and highly qualified workforce is available to address the Nations basic and clinical biomedical and behavioral or social sciences research agenda. Research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, and career development components to prepare individuals for careers as independent scientists that will have a significant impact on the dental, oral, and craniofacial health-related research needs of the Nation.
Funding Opportunity PAR-20-056 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) will award T90/R90 grants to eligible, domestic institutions to enhance predoctoral and postdoctoral research training (T90) and postdoctoral research education (R90) to ensure that a diverse and highly qualified workforce is available to address the Nations basic and clinical biomedical and behavioral or social sciences research agenda. Research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, and career development components to prepare individuals for careers as independent scientists that will have a significant impact on the dental, oral, and craniofacial health-related research needs of the Nation. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
Notice NOT-ES-20-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-20-015 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NIH Blueprint R25 program is to encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce, to pursue further studies or careers in research. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Courses for Skills Development, Research Experiences, and Mentoring Activities. The fully integrated educational activities should prepare undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences to enter Ph.D. degree programs in the neurosciences. To accomplish this goal, this initiative will provide institutional awards to develop neuroscience research education programs comprised of collaborative partnerships integrated across different educational institution types. Each partnership must include: a) one or more institutions that either: 1) have a historical and current mission to educate students from any of the populations that have been identified as underrepresented in biomedical research as defined by the National Science Foundation NSF, see http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/) (i.e., African Americans or Blacks, Hispanic or Latino Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, U.S. Pacific Islanders, and persons with disabilities) or 2) have a documented track record of recruiting, training and/or educating, and graduating underrepresented students as defined by NSF (see above), which has resulted in increasing the institution's contribution to the national pool of graduates from underrepresented backgrounds who pursue biomedical research careers; b) a research-intensive institution that has an established neuroscience or neuroscience-related program; c) integrated
Funding Opportunity PAR-20-060 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support, through the cooperative agreement mechanism, investigator-initiated observational studies or biomarker validation studies that require prospective collection of data/biospecimens or continued analysis of data/biospecimens collected as part of a previous NIDCR award.
Notice NOT-HL-19-734 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-ES-20-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Notice NOT-HL-19-733 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-20-226 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to solicit research to develop, optimize and test mental health telehealth methods (i.e., without involving in-person interaction between a mental health clinician and the patient) to help evaluate and treat emergency department (ED) patients with suicide risk, compared to usual care of such patients in emergency departments without adequate on-site mental health specialty consultation. Primary research questions include if the use of telehealth methods affects the proportion of ED patients who are (1) considered at imminent risk for suicide, (2) boarded in the ED due to suicide risk, and (3) require hospitalization for suicide risk; (4) whether use of telehealth methods affects the rate of within-encounter provision of evidence-based suicide prevention interventions; and whether use of telehealth methods affects (5) the rates of suicide ideation, attempts and deaths, and (6) health care use and costs, in the year after an index ED visit in which a patient was identified with suicide risk. To inform future implementation of telehealth enabled suicide prevention practices in the ED, qualitative data on patient and provider views of telehealth provision of suicide prevention practices (feasibility and acceptability of clinical decision making; clinical workflows; ease of use of technology) are sought.
Notice NOT-OD-20-027 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-21-011 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is specifically designed to address the gap in translation by expediting the delivery of evidence-based HLBS interventions by supporting research that employs implementation frameworks to develop and test implementation strategies for EBP that are sustainable beyond the period of external research funding and which are transferable to other end-use stakeholders. The FOA supports pragmatic milestone-driven, single-site, biphasic, late-stage (T4) translation and implementation research projects which propose to identify and test adaptable implementation strategies that will increase the scale-up and sustainable use of EBPs for preventing and/or managing HLBS disorders. For the purpose of this FOA, late-stage translation and implementation research is defined as research to identify strategies to achieve sustainable uptake of proven-effective interventions into routine clinical, or public health practice and/or community-based settings to improve health. The FOA also supports the development and dissemination of the implementation strategy plan which may include re-usable infrastructure, e.g., national standards for data extraction and interoperability, so that others may adapt the implementation strategy(ies) and replicate sustainable success.
