The NOFO seeks to expand the HIV/AIDS prevention toolkit among alcohol impacted populations with a range of patterns of episodic and long-term use and associated behavioral and biological risks for HIV acquisition. This includes integration of effective prevention and treatment interventions with an understanding of the overarching framework for reducing the incidence of new infections by facilitating cross-cutting informative research. This research activity includes the development and testing of new interventions and expansion of existing effective interventions as well as the implementation of these integrative preventive activities in diverse settings and populations. Six areas of research are of primary interest related to alcohol use and related mental health and substance use comorbidities. These include but are not limited to 1) PrEP Utilization, 2) Treatment as Prevention (TasP), 3) Integration of Preventive Intervention Strategies, 4) Prevention-related Cross-cutting Research, 5) Syndemic Approaches and, 6) Implementation and Operations Research.

The goals of this opportunity are to conduct and support laboratory research, clinical trials, and epidemiological and intervention studies with people and communities that explore health processes among individuals who drink alcohol. These include alcohol settings and situations and their impact on HIV prevention and treatment outcomes. NIAAA researchers examine growth and development, biologic and reproductive functions, behavior patterns, and population dynamics to protect and maintain the health of all people with alcohol and HIV-related comorbidities. With this information, NIAAA implements research to restore, increase, and maximize the health of people living with HIV. This also includes training programs for scientists, clinicians, and researchers to ensure that NIAAA research is fully supported in the context of HIV research. By training these professionals in the latest research methods and technologies and implementing effective interventions, NIAAA will conduct research across the lifespan for reducing frailty and decreasing mortality and ensuring healthy outcomes.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage applications to pursue invasive neural recording studies focused on mental health-relevant questions. Invasive neural recordings provide an unparalleled window into the human brain to explore the neural circuitry and neural dynamics underlying complex moods, emotions, cognitive functions, and behaviors with high spatial and temporal resolution. Additionally, the ability to stimulate, via the same electrodes, allows for direct causal tests by modulating network dynamics.

This NOFO aims to target a gap in the scientific knowledge of neural circuit function related to mental health disorders. Researchers should target specific questions suited to invasive recording modalities that have high translational potential. Intervention-development clinical trials of therapeutic devices are outside the scope of this NOFO, though development of novel tools/methods to enable relevant mental health studies is encouraged.

This NOFO complements NIMH's suite of clinical trial funding opportunities by supporting milestone-driven feasibility and infrastructure development (R61) research followed by well-powered clinical trials (R33) to test the effectiveness of system interventions or strategies that improve the organization, delivery, coordination, and outcomes of mental health care for priority populations.

System interventions - which may span, for example, structural, policy, and organizational domains - attend to issues about the access, equity, engagement/utilization, value (cost/financing), management, or quality and safety of mental health services, with the goal of improved care processes and clinical, functional, or population level outcomes. Accordingly, the focus of system interventions may include multiple factors/levels related to care delivered within or across a variety of care settings, such as health systems and organizations, mental health and community clinics, schools, and social welfare or justice systems.

Projects may test the impact of policies and practices, interventions to facilitate care transitions and continuity across settings, and interventions to improve linkages/coordination across systems.

Researchers will have up to two years in the R61 phase to demonstrate feasibility and adequate infrastructure to justify conducting the main trial (R33). Applicants pursuing other stages of intervention development and testing should refer to companion NOFOs listed at Support for Clinical Trials at NIMH.

Under this NOFO, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support "go/no-go" decisions about further development, effectiveness testing, or dissemination of the intervention.

Interventions to be studied include, but are not limited to, behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, and device-based (both invasive/surgically implanted as well as noninvasive/transcranial) approaches, or a combination thereof. Pharmacological interventions to be studied under this grant mechanism are expected to primarily focus on drugs approved for marketing by the FDA (for any indication). These will include medications off-patent which are undergoing development for a new mental health indication.

Confirmatory efficacy trials studying monotherapy, combination treatments, and stepped approaches, including multiple treatment modalities, may be supported. Interventions appropriate for efficacy testing must be based on a compelling scientific rationale, previous demonstration that the intervention engages and alters the hypothesized mechanism of action (target), a preliminary efficacy signal, and must address an unmet therapeutic need.

Support will be provided for a trial of the intervention's efficacy that includes measurement of the hypothesized mechanism of action and the relationship between change in the target mechanism and change in functional or clinical effects. Ultimately, this NOFO is intended to support a sufficiently-powered efficacy trial to determine the intervention's potential for significant clinical benefit.

Although the majority living with schizophrenia and related disorders are over 35 years old, including those first diagnosed and those aging with the illness, the mechanisms underlying the generation and trajectory of the illness remain poorly understood.

The purpose of this initiative is to advance translational research to better understand the emergence and trajectory of schizophrenia and related disorders in mid to late life, and to identity targets for future development of prevention and treatment efforts.

We support syringe services programs and community-based harm reduction programs that improve the health and wellness of people who use drugs. These programs provide free sterile syringes, safer smoking and snorting kits, education, and community wraparound services to reduce opioid overdoses and the transmission of HIV and viral hepatitis.

The geographic focus for these grants is the 50 States, District of Columbia, Native American Reservations/Tribal Land, and Puerto Rico.

Types of funding available:

• General operating funds including harm reduction supplies.

• Harm reduction supplies only.

Funding priorities:

• Organizations led by a majority of people who use drugs.

• Organizations led by a majority of Black, Indigenous, and people of color and/or others disproportionately impacted by the criminalization of drug use (Including those with a history of incarceration, sex work, immigration, etc.).

• Organizations in geographic areas in which limited funding is available for syringes and safer smoking supplies.

• Organizations serving areas in which limited to no other programs exist within 100 miles.

• Organizations serving areas in which policy improvements can have local, state, and/or national impact.

• Organizations serving areas with higher HIV and HCV prevalence, injection drug use prevalence, overdose incidence.

• Statewide strategic partnerships.

• Organizations offering innovative services at a regional or national level.
