Improving Evidence-Based Mental Health Screening and Treatment for Persons with Mental Disorders in the Justice System (R34): Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct pilot research activities preliminary to studies that test the effectiveness of strategies for the delivery of evidence-based mental health treatments, services and suicide prevention in criminal (adult) or juvenile justice settings. Settings of interest include: 1) incarceration or detention, 2) community corrections (parole and probation) and 3) programs to facilitate transition to community. Of particular priority are studies addressing the delivery of mental health treatment during incarceration. Relevant studies include pilot work leading to tests of the effectiveness of strategies for mental health screening or diagnosis, delivery of evidence-based mental health treatment(s) or services, and adherence to such treatments or services in justice settings. Of interest are studies that target disorders commonly encountered in justice settings for which there are existing mental health interventions with proven effectiveness and studies of strategies to prevent suicide during incarceration. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIMH Pilot Intervention and Services Research (R34) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, MH-11-060, which encourages applications under the Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIMH intends to commit approximately $3,000,000 total costs in FY 2011 to fund 4-5 awards in response to this FOA and the companion announcement.
