Refinement and Testing of Interventions to Sustain ADHD Treatment Effects Across Settings and Developmental Transitions (R34 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-20-100 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. NIMH seeks applications for pilot projects to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of augmented or modified interventions designed to promote sustained improvement in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and functional impairments across settings and transitions in children, adolescents, and young adults. An emphasis is placed on trials that go beyond seeking incremental gains in intervention effects, and instead take a theory-driven, empirical approach to applying modifications that will have a significant and enduring impact on functioning. In this pilot phase of effectiveness research, the trial should be designed to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and potential effectiveness of the approach; to address whether the intervention engages the target mechanism(s) presumed to underlie the intervention effects; and to obtain necessary preliminary data as a pre-requisite to a larger-scale, definitive effectiveness trial.

George M. O'Brien Urology Cooperative Research Centers Program (U54 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-18-029 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications for the George M. OBrien Urology Cooperative Research Centers Program (U54). This program will foster multi- and interdisciplinary collaboration between basic, translational, and clinical researchers with diverse expertise to address questions of underlying etiology and biological and clinical features of benign genitourinary conditions within the NIDDKs mission. In addition, the program will serve as a national resource for the larger urologic research community and provide opportunities for educational enrichment and engagement of investigators from urology and other, broad disciplines. All efforts will address the overall goal of improving prevention and clinical management of benign genitourinary disorders through research excellence, enhanced sharing of resources, and establishment of a robust research community.

Patient Safety Learning Laboratories (2019): Pursuing Safety in Diagnosis and Treatment at the Intersection of Design, Systems Engineering, and Health Services Research (R18)
Funding Opportunity RFA-HS-19-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This R18 Request for Application (RFA) calls for the creation and utilization of Patient Safety Learning Laboratories. These learning laboratories are places and networks where transdisciplinary teams identify closely related threats to diagnostic or treatment efforts associated with a high burden of harm and cost. Following a systems engineering methodology, the learning laboratories stretch professional boundaries, envision innovative designs, and take advantage of brainstorming and rapid prototyping techniques that other leading industries employ. Promising prototypes undergo further develop-test-revise iterations, and subsequent integration as a working system. After further improvements are made to the integrated working system, its efficacy is evaluated in a realistic simulated or clinical setting
