Functional Assessment of People with Mental Disorders (R01): -Purpose. The focus of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the application of biobehavioral science methods and approaches to develop and refine definitions of and measures for function, disability, and morbidity, as well as to develop ongoing reliable and valid assessment of these processes in people with mental disorders. Emphasis will be on the application of basic behavioral processes (e.g., cognition, affect, knowledge, attitudes, motivation, learning, decision-making, interpersonal processes, utilization of general medical care, nutrition, exercise, smoking, etc.) that influence functional outcome, disability, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with mental disorders. The assessment strategies and basic research findings from these areas are then to be used to facilitate theory-driven research on the development of behavioral and psychosocial interventions--prevention and treatment--aimed at improving behavior change and functional outcome and reducing disability, morbidity, and mortality in people with mental disorders. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. Applications of identical scientific scope are solicited also under the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) and the NIMH Clinical Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R34) award mechanisms, responding to FOAs PA-06-180 and PA-06-248, respectively. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
