Mechanism for Time Sensitive Research Opportunities: This PA is intended to support public mental health and/or substance abuse services research in rapidly evolving areas (e.g., changes in service systems, health care financing, policy, etc) where opportunities for empirical study are, by their very natures, only available through expedited award of support. There are three distinguishing features of an eligible study: 1) the study's scientific value and feasibility are clear, 2) rapid review and funding are required in order for the scientific question to be answered and for the research design to be carried out, and 3) the knowledge gained from the study cannot be obtained through the regular NIH cycle of review and award. It should be clear that the research question offers an uncommon and scientifically significant services research opportunity that could only become available if the project is initiated with minimum delay. 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 number, scientific merit, overall quality, duration, and costs of the applications received, as well as on the funds available at the participating NIH Institutes/Centers.This funding opportunity will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21), Clinical Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R34), and Small Grant (R03) award mechanisms. Eligible organizations include domestic, for-profit organizations, non-profit organizations, public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories, units of State government, units of local government, eligible agencies of the Federal government, community-based organizations, units of State Tribal governments and units of Local Tribal governments.Eligible principal investigators are 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.
