Research on System Support and Tools for Provider Training and Quality Monitoring for Suicide Preventive Care

<p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research focused on developing, optimizing, and testing the effectiveness of provider-level interventions and tools to promote competence and sustained implementation fidelity in delivering evidence-based suicide prevention interventions.&nbsp;NIMH seeks research to inform, service-ready implementation strategies and valid, scalable measures and tools for monitoring the delivery and outcome of suicide prevention services, including risk assessment, referral and engagement and preventative/therapeutic interventions.

Applications are not being solicited at this time.

Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.&nbsp;This NOFO will utilize the R01 activity code.

Investigators with expertise in clinical trials methodology, psychometric validation of measures for monitoring outcomes and care delivery, and implementation science related to developing and testing suicide prevention strategies for use in a variety of settings where therapeutic services are offered are encouraged to consider applying for this new NOFO.

In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in health services research, comparative effectiveness, practice-based research, and data science are encouraged, and these investigators should consider applying for this NOFO.</span></p>
