Innovative Pilot Mental Health Services Research Not Involving Clinical Trials (R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-284 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Announcement (NOFO) is to encourage pilot research that is not an immediate precursor to testing a service intervention but is consistent with NIMH priorities for services research. While NIMH now requires use of an experimental therapeutics model for all intervention studies, there is recognition that some mission-relevant areas of services research do not involve clinical trials.

Innovative Mental Health Services Research Not Involving Clinical Trials (R01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-283 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Announcement (NOFO) is to encourage innovative research that will inform and support the delivery of high-quality, continuously improving mental health services to benefit the greatest number of individuals with, or at risk for developing, a mental illness. This announcement invites applications for non-clinical trial R01-level projects that address NIMH strategic priorities for mental health services research.
