    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for pilot projects exploring patient navigation models to divert non-urgent mental health concerns from Emergency Departments (EDs). Recognizing that up to 40% of youth ED visits are due to non-urgent mental health issues, the funding aims to implement evidence-based patient navigation interventions that can triage mental health acuity and connect families with adequate mental health resources. Eligible applicants include educational institutions, nonprofits, and state governments, with a budget limit of $225,000 per year over three years. The focus is on pilot testing established models with limited evidence, while larger-scale studies will be supported through a companion NOFO (R01). Key project goals include assessing emotional support, community resource connectivity, and identifying barriers to treatment. Research must be methodologically robust, employing designs like randomized trials. Ultimately, the initiative aligns with NIMH's mission to enhance mental health treatment and reduce disparities, providing a framework for scalable interventions that could significantly impact the mental health service landscape.
