Advancing Research on Empirically-Supported Interventions for Older Adults Living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Advancing Research on Empirically-Supported Interventions for Older Adults Living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI)

The National Institute of Mental Health intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research focused on the optimization, delivery, sustainability, and effectiveness of empirically-supported interventions for addressing the mental health needs of older adults with serious mental illness (SMI). Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the R01 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into research related to adapting, optimizing, and implementing efficacious treatment of SMI and strategies to improve clinical and functional outcomes, to include the reduction of co-occurring chronic health conditions among aging populations are encouraged to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative research combining multidisciplinary expertise to address SMI and improve access to evidence-based interventions in later life, such as interventions that facilitate care transitions and continuity across settings, and research on strategies to improve care linkages and coordination across health systems are also encouraged to apply.
