RFI for Therapeutic Psilocybin Research FundBid Documents

Indiana's Department of Mental Health & Addiction is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge interest and capability among qualified research institutions to administer a therapeutic psilocybin research fund, as mandated by HEA 1259. The purpose of this RFI is to identify organizations that can demonstrate their ability to conduct the required clinical studies, submit necessary reports, and process updates in accordance with the legislation. This process is preparatory, and no contracts will be awarded directly from the RFI; instead, the state may consider issuing grants based on the responses received and the availability of funding for the research fund. Interested institutions are invited to verify their capacity to undertake the research activities and fulfill reporting obligations. The solicitation, identified as Bid Document number 0000080583, was posted on June 28, 2024, with a response deadline of August 1, 2024. The initiative is part of Indiana’s broader efforts to explore therapeutic uses of psilocybin, with potential grant opportunities contingent upon the responses and funding availability. Further details and updates can be accessed through the Indiana procurement website.
