Effectiveness, Practice, and Implementation in Cmhs Childrens Service Sites: This PA replaces PA-00-135.The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to encourage research grant applications on services delivered to children, adolescents, and their families through the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program initiative (hereafter referred to as the Childrens Services Program) or through the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Interdepartmental Initiative (SS/HS), also supported by the CMHS, and by the Departments of Education and Justice. This PA encourages studies of the effectiveness of interventions delivered at these sites, the nature and impact of routine prevention or clinical practice, and factors related to successful implementation of preventive or treatment interventions.Conducting the proposed research at one of the Childrens Services Program or SS/HS sites (either existing sites or graduated sites) is a prerequisite for funding under this PA. Within multi-site studies, only one site is required to be a past or currently funded Childrens Services Program or SS/HS site. Grant principal investigators are strongly encouraged to work collaboratively with Childrens Services Program or SS/HS site program staff and associated family members. Such collaboration might include the joint negotiation of primary research aims, direct participation in research activities, or the establishment of a community advisory board to oversee research activities.This PA addresses recommendations set forth in the NIMH report, "Bridging Science and Service: A Report by the National Advisory Mental Health Councils Clinical Treatment and Services Research Workgroup," and in the NIMH report "Blueprint for Change: Research on Child and Adolescent Mental Health."
