Enhancing Practice Improvement in Community-Based Care for Prevention and Treatment of Drug Abuse or Co-occurring Drug Abuse and Mental Disorders: - This initiative aims to help develop research capacity in a group that historically has been the object rather than the initiator of research-to-practice investigations. Accordingly, this request for applications (RFA) is intended to enhance the capacity of community-based providers of drug abuse prevention/treatment services, including services for individuals with co-occurring mental disorders, to conduct practice improvement research. Such research may entail the examination of therapeutic and/or business practices currently in use but lacking scientific evidence of effectiveness, or it may entail examination of the adoption, implementation, and sustained use of science-based therapeutic and/or business innovations. - The National Institute on Drug Abuse, with support from the National Institute on Mental Health and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration , intends to commit approximately $1.9 million dollars in FY 2006 to fund 8-12 new grants in response to this RFA. - This RFA will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research project grant (R01) award mechanism with the following modifications: An applicant may request a project period of up to 3 years, and direct costs may not exceed $150,000 per year. Preliminary studies are not required. - A community-based provider is required to be the applicant organization. For the purposes of this RFA, an eligible community-based provider is an organization, an agency, or an association/coalition of organizations/agencies (can be at the National, State, or Regional level) that deliver(s) services to prevent or treat (a) substance abuse disorders or (b) co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders in a nonacademic setting. Applicant community-based providers must demonstrate in their application that they have sufficient numbers of participants, sufficient numbers of sites, and sufficient site size and diversity to study system-wide assessment of existing or newly adopted therapeutic and/or business policies and practices. - Any community-based provider 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. Community-based providers without adequate research capacity are required to partner with researchers from organizations having adequate capacity, such as universities and research institutes. - Applicants may not submit more than one application.
