Health Behavior Change in People with Mental Disorders (R01): -Purpose. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) encourages studies on health behavior change related to function, disability, morbidity, and mortality in people with mental disorders. An important goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) 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. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. Applications of identical scientific scope are solicited also under the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) and the NIMH Clinical Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R34) award mechanisms, responding to FOAs PA-06-180 and PA-06-248, respectively. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. 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 the applications received.
