What the grant funds

Reissue of PAR-19-189. The purpose of this funding announcement 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.

For this re-issued notice Grants.gov carries only the note on what changed. The research objectives are in the notice in the NIH Guide.
