The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) with other ICs are issuing this Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement to promote new initiatives that will solicit applications to support research to determine the role and impact of digital health interventions [e.g., mobile health (mhealth), telemedicine and telehealth, health information technology (IT), wearable devices] to address secondary health effects of the social, behavioral, and economic changes following the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among populations who experience health disparities and vulnerable populations.
This FOA will utilize the R01 activity code and academic researchers will be required to partner with digital health developers and/or existing well-established digital health delivery platforms to prepare and submit applications. This notice is provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive applications. Details of the planned FOAs are provided below.
This FOA is expected to be published in June 2020 with an expected application due date in July 2020.
This Notice encourages investigators to acquire and leverage partnerships with digital health developers and/or existing well-established digital health delivery platforms, to consider applying for research support that follows a deployment-focused model of services design and testing. Research areas supported under this program include: reach, access, engagement, and effectiveness to screen and treat health conditions at scale not possible through traditional healthcare settings, including for areas and populations where healthcare access may be limited or not utilized. Proposed research should reflect the highest impact, with rigorous methods including sufficient power, and consideration of urgent public health needs in the context of populations eligible for consideration under this effort. This FOA will require focus on health disparate and vulnerable populations.
Application budgets are limited to $750,000 in direct costs per year for up to three years and need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
Applications are not being solicited at this time.
