Abstract: |
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites research grant applications to support core infrastructure for conducting intervention and/or services research directly addressing the mission of NIMH, which is to reduce the burden of mental and behavioral disorders through research on mind, brain, and behavior. In particular, this initiative addresses the mission of the NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research (DSIR), as well as that the NIMH Geriatrics Research Branch. The DSIR supports two main areas of research: a) intervention research to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacologic, psychosocial, somatic, rehabilitative and combination treatment or preventive interventions on mental and behavior disorders, and b) mental health services research that consists of interdisciplinary investigations of the predictors, processes and outcomes of mental health services, including availability, access and acceptability; organization; decision-making; service delivery, utilization and quality of care; costs, cost-effectiveness and financing of mental health care, and the dissemination and implementation of effective interventions into service systems |
