Interventions and Practice Research Infrastructure Program (Ip-Risp): This program announcement supercedes three prior announcements for the support of research infrastructure: Interventions and Practice Research Infrastructure Program (PAR-00-096), Interventions Infrastructure Program (PAR-99-064), and the Research Infrastructure Support Program (PAR-94-096). The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) seeks to expand the number of partnerships between community-based, clinical/services settings and academic institutions. The goal is to enhance the national capacity to provide evidence- based mental health care in community settings that is sensitive to the social and cultural needs of patients and providers and to the feasibility concerns of the community organizations involved. This program announcement (PA), Interventions and Practice Research Infrastructure Support Program (IP-RISP), responds to recommendations made by the National Advisory Mental Health Councils (NAMHC) report, Bridging Science and Service (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/bridge.htm). The IP-RISP seeks to foster an active, synergistic partnership between mental health researchers and community-based, clinical/services staff, clinicians and patients/clients to: (1) advance our knowledge about developing research infrastructure in community settings and the establishment of collaborative partnerships; (2) identify and incorporate those factors (e.g., organizational, sociocultural, interpersonal) in community settings that may be associated with quality care and optimal outcomes for patients and clients; and (3) test adapted, evidence-based interventions (treatment, rehabilitative, and preventive) in community settings.
