The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a funding opportunity focused on researching patient navigation models designed to divert non-urgent youth mental health cases from emergency departments (EDs). The R01 Clinical Trial Required program aims to improve access to appropriate mental health services and support for families facing mental health challenges. Eligible applicants include various educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. The initiative highlights the significant proportion of non-urgent ED visits by youth with mental health issues and seeks to test effective navigation interventions that triage mental health acuity, provide emotional support, and facilitate service connections. Key dates include an open application date of January 5, 2025, with funding amounts not limited but contingent upon the project needs. The application process mandates rigorous methodologies, prioritizing randomized controlled trials. Applicants must address potential barriers to accessing mental health resources and demonstrate how their proposed approaches can effectively increase service utilization and overall mental health outcomes. This funding opportunity is crucial for enhancing knowledge about effective intervention methods and closing gaps in mental health service provision for youth.
