Grant Opportunities Address Research on Mental and
Other Physical health Conditions and New Technology
for People with Disabilities
Research on Co-Morbid Mental and Other Physical Disorders
(R01), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and
the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), The
NIMH and NINR solicit grant applications that propose
studies on the co-occurrence and co-morbidity of mental
disorders with other physical disorders with the goal
of identifying modifiable risk and protective factors,
and to translate the results into initial tests of prevention
and early intervention strategies. This FOA encourages
research on the efficacy, effectiveness, long-term outcome,
and safety of preventive, treatment, and rehabilitative
interventions across the lifespan; clinical trials and
intervention studies targeting functional and symptomatic
outcomes adapting pharmacological, psychosocial, behavioral,
or environmental approaches individually or in combination;
studies to improve the recruitment and retention of
individuals with co-morbid disorders in real-world practice
settings; and research on the impact of separate organizational
systems and different financing mechanisms for mental
and other physical disorders.
