Health Behavior Change in People with Mental Disorders: The NIMH encourages studies on health behavior change related to function, disability, morbidity, and mortality in people with mental disorders. An important goal of this program announcement is to identify potent, modifiable risk and protective health behavior factors amenable to intervention, and to translate the results of such studies into initial tests of theory-driven prevention and early intervention strategies aimed at improving function and decreasing disability, morbidity, and mortality among people with mental disorders. Risk and protective factors include biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental contributors to health behaviors among people with mental disorders. It is incumbent upon the applicant to demonstrate the public health significance of the study by describing the severity and/or prevalence of the health behaviors, disability, morbidity, or mortality of the populations represented in the topics studied. This PA will ! use the NIH R01, R03, and the NIMH R34 award mechanisms. Applications may be submitted by domestic or foreign, for-profit or non-profit organizations, public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of State and local governments; eligible agencies of the Federal government. Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is invited to work with their institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH programs. There is no limit on the number of applications that may be submitted.
