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. These areas include:

1) studies to identify mutable factors that impact access, continuity, utilization, quality, value, outcomes, including disparities in outcomes, or scalability of mental health services, which may serve as targets in future intervention development

2) development and testing of new research tools, measures, or methods

3) testing the feasibility of integrating existing data sets to understand factors affecting access, quality or outcomes of care

4) pilot work on the learning mental health care system model as a means to enable practical studies of the value and effectiveness of services and treatments

LOI required, due August 1st. Only invited LOIs can submit a full proposal.

Focus grants are targeted, innovative and potentially high impact studies that seek to inform and even transform suicide prevention efforts. There are three different areas that proposed research can focus: short-term risk, reaching 20% by 2025, and blue sky research.

Short-term risk proposals should be innovative, potentially high-yield proposals that focus on short-term risk for suicide that develop identification and/or intervention strategies for short-term suicide risk that can be implemented in clinical settings.

The reaching 20% by 2025 seeks applications that address potential biological, psychological, social and/or environmental pathways and interventions that can significantly reduce the national suicide rate if ultimately implemented on a large scale.

Blue sky research grants are innovative projects in new areas of investigation with potentially high impact for the understanding and prevention of suicide. Open to all fields of inquiry.

The goal of this funding opportunity is to translate and adapt knowledge from around the world to the United States on approaches that can improve health or the determinants of health by improving gender equity. In the United States, determinants of health relate to personal safety, economic opportunity, education access (post-secondary or beyond), supportive workplace and social environments, and protection from bias and discrimination for vulnerable groups. We are especially interested in understanding how to change systems, norms, and practices—such as patriarchy and heterosexism—that systematically disfavor women, girls, and other groups based on gender or sexual identity. Some examples of research of interest:

• Provide supports in the workplace or other social environments for pregnant women, parents and families;
• Counteract cultural stereotypes or expectations that bias women and girls toward low-wage careers or health-damaging jobs or roles;
• Address norms, practices, and resources in ways that reduce gender-based violence, aggression, or harassment;
• Modify social expectations that promote risky behaviors or contribute to poor mental health;
• Create opportunities for gender minorities to make decisions that affect their lives and communities, and to emerge as leaders in government and other positions of influence; or
• Apply nonbinary interpretations of gender in policymaking, resource allocation, or service provision.

Pioneering Ideas: Exploring the Future to Build a Culture of Health seeks proposals that are primed to influence health equity in the future. We are interested in ideas that address any of these four areas of focus: Future of Evidence; Future of Social Interaction; Future of Food; Future of Work. Additionally, we welcome ideas that might fall outside of these four focus areas, but which offer unique approaches to advancing health equity and our progress toward a Culture of Health.

We want to hear from scientists, anthropologists, artists, urban planners, community leaders—anyone, anywhere who has a new or unconventional idea that could alter the trajectory of health, and improve health equity and well-being for generations to come. The changes we seek require diverse perspectives and cannot be accomplished by any one person, organization or sector.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recently emerged human disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). There is a paucity of data on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the sensory and communicative functions within the scientific mission areas of NIDCD. NIDCD invites applications for research on COVID-19 in relation to NIDCD’s scientific programs of hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech and language (HBTSVSL). Given the early stage of COVID-19 research, it is critical that there is a strong premise for research proposals submitted in response to this NOSI. Areas of COVID-19 related research encouraged through this Notice include, but are not limited to studies on or related to:

• The effects of prolonged oral intubation on laryngeal function and voice production
• Short-term and long-term effects of COVID-19 on the auditory, vestibular or olfactory systems
• The prevalence, onset, and resolution of acquired deficits (i.e. HBTSVSL) among patients with COVID-19 across the lifespan and in association with various underlying genetic predispositions and health conditions
• The impact of stress/isolation on speech, language or fluency recovery/development in children or adults
• Worsening of communicative function because of physical distancing, sheltering in place, and wearing of protective personal equipment during mitigation of this infectious pandemic
• Telehealth service delivery to individuals with communication disorders
• Multidisciplinary collaborative teams including clinicians, basic biologists, geneticists, quantitative scientist, epidemiologists or other researchers to study COVID-19 related human conditions and behaviors, bioethical considerations, health-service delivery, health services in low-resource areas, and health disparities within NIDCD mission areas

The NIDCD Early Career Research (ECR) Award is different from other NIH R21 programs. It is restricted to clinical and basic scientists who are transitioning to, or are already in the early stages of, their independent research career. The research should be focused on one or more of the areas within the biomedical and behavioral scientific mission of the NIDCD, specifically: hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, or language. The expected outcome from projects funded under this mechanism is the acquisition of necessary preliminary data for a subsequent research project grant (R01) application. Preliminary data are not required. However, the project should be supported by sufficient information to give confidence to the reviewers that the proposed work is feasible and that data derived from the project would likely be suitable as preliminary data for a subsequent R01 application. If preliminary data are available it is recommended that these be included.

The DISES Program supports research projects that advance new conceptualizations and scientific knowledge of the complex interactions (dynamics,processes, and feedbacks) within and among environmental (biological, physical, chemical) and human (economic, social, political, or behavioral) componentsof an integrated socio-environmental system. DISES projects must clearly identify a socio-environmental system, synthesis of multiple socio-environmental systems, or problem(s) that are amenable to investigation from both environmental-science and social-science perspectives. The analysis of the socio-environmental system must include and integrate the processes through which the environmental components impact or modify the human components, and the reciprocal processes through which the human components impact or modify the environmental component. DISES projects should examine human societies and environmental characteristics as system components comprised of many individuals or processes at local,regional or global scales.
