AI Contract Overview
The National Institute of Mental Health is preparing to issue a funding opportunity for research applications aimed at establishing Practice-Based Research Centers under the Advanced Laboratories for Accelerating the Reach and Impact of Treatments for Youth and Adults with Mental Illness (ALACRITY) initiative. These centers will support interdisciplinary teams conducting high-impact studies that advance clinical practice and transform mental health care. The research focus includes optimizing therapeutic or preventive interventions, developing patient, provider, and system-level strategies to improve mental health care access and quality, and enhancing the durability and impact of interventions for individuals with or at risk for mental health conditions, including serious mental illness. Applicants are encouraged to build meaningful collaborations and submit projects that leverage the P50 grant mechanism. Research proposals should integrate diverse components of the mental health research ecosystem, combining new clinical discoveries, health care technologies, information science, and organizational strategies at federal and state levels. The initiative particularly seeks interdisciplinary expertise across behavioral science, health data science, systems engineering, decision and implementation science, and related fields. Projects should facilitate the sharing of data, methods, and resources to speed the translation of research into practice and provide training and participation opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators. This funding opportunity aims to support research that cannot be addressed through standard grant mechanisms and focuses on accelerating the reach and impact of mental health treatments in the U.S.

Full Description
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) intends to publish a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to solicit research applications for practice-based research centers to support interdisciplinary teams of mental health researchers to engage in high-impact studies that will significantly advance clinical practice and generate knowledge to fuel the transformation of mental health care in the United States. Advanced Laboratories for Accelerating the Reach and Impact of Treatments for Youth and Adults with Mental Illness (ALACRITY) Research Centers support research projects aimed at the rapid development, testing, and refinement of novel and integrative approaches for (1) optimizing the effectiveness of therapeutic or preventive interventions for mental disorders; (2) developing and testing empirically informed patient-, provider- and system-level interventions to improve mental health care access, engagement, continuity, efficiency, and quality; and (3) continuously improving the quality, impact, and durability of optimized interventions and health for individuals with or at risk for mental health problems, including those with serious mental illness. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive research projects. This NOFO will utilize the P50 activity code.
Applications must propose research that maximizes synergies across various components of the mental health research ecosystem, including new discoveries in clinical research, transformative health care technologies, advances in information science, and new federal and state mechanisms for organizing mental health care. Applicants with interdisciplinary expertise, such as behavioral science, health information and data science, health systems engineering, decision science, implementation science, and related fields, whose practice-based research needs cannot be met through standard research project grant mechanisms, should consider applying to this NOFO. Applications are also expected to include research activities that facilitate the widespread sharing of data, methods, and resources to accelerate clinical research and to provide opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators to participate in interdisciplinary research-to-practice translational mental health research.
