Developing Centers for Innovation in Services and Intervention Research (DCISIR): - The ultimate goal of this program announcement (PA) is to establish support for groups of researchers to develop intervention and services research studies that will directly address the missions of NIMH and NIAAA and to prepare these research groups to develop advanced centers. It also supports two of the three central themes of the NIH Roadmap initiative (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/index.asp): developing interdisciplinary research teams for the future, including public-private partnerships; and re-engineering the clinical research enterprise. The intervention and services research needed to provide pragmatic information for decision making, improve current community practice, and ultimately reduce the burden of mental illness and of alcohol-related problems for youth and adults requires (a) the creation and adoption of novel methodological and organizational approaches, (b) the use of behavioral, social, economic, and/or political theories to transport interventions into community settings, (c) the creation of sustainable community partnerships, and (d) the creation of sustainable multidisciplinary research teams that can work cooperatively and creatively to find new ways to get the right package of mental health care to the people who need it most and ultimately improve their functioning and quality of life. This PA is intended as a mechanism to build capacity at qualified institutions to achieve these goals and those of the NIH Roadmap initiative. - 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 applications received. - This funding opportunity will use the NIH Exploratory Center (P20) award mechanism. - Eligible organizations include: for-profit, non-profit, public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of state and local governments; eligible agencies of the Federal government; domestic institutions; faith-based or community-based organizations; units of state tribal government, and units of local tribal government. Foreign Institutions are not eligible for support under this announcement. - Eligible principal investigators include: any individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. - Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct. - See Section IV.1 for application materials. - Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088
