Discover Funding Opportunities

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (de-implement) the use of practices that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. All applications must be within the scope of the mission of one of the participating NIH Institutes/Centers. This R21 grant mechanism supports exploratory/developmental research and is designed for projects where preliminary data may be limited.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to support research on interdisciplinary population approaches to increasing awareness of the relationship between alcohol and cancer risk, understanding and changing social norms related to alcohol consumption, developing and/or evaluating alcohol policy approaches, and the development, testing, and implementation of population-level interventions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risk. Applications that address multiple levels of consumption, such as moderate and heavy drinking, are of particular interest, as well as those focusing on alcohol use disorder (AUD) from the perspective of cancer prevention and control. The program seeks to advance scientific understanding of how population-level strategies can effectively reduce cancer risk associated with alcohol consumption through evidence-based interventions and policy development.

NIMH seeks applications for innovative research projects to test strategies to increase the reach, efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of digital mental health interventions. This NOFO is intended to support the development of digital health test beds that leverage well-established digital mental health platforms, to rapidly refine and optimize existing evidence-based digital health interventions and conduct clinical trials testing digital mental health interventions that are statistically powered to provide a definitive answer regarding the intervention's effectiveness. The program aims to advance the field of digital mental health by creating robust testing environments for evidence-based interventions and supporting definitive clinical trials that can provide clear answers about intervention effectiveness.
