This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to support collaborative clinical studies, that primarily focus on mental health genetics, biomarker studies, and studies of mental illnesses (e.g., psychopathology, neurodevelopmental trajectories of psychopathology). Applicants should apply to this FOA when two or more sites are needed to complete the study. Accordingly, the collaborating studies share a specific protocol across the sites and are organized as such in order to increase sample size, accelerate recruitment, or increase the inclusion of women and minorities (NOT-OD-18-014) and NIH-defined health disparity populations. (see https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/strategic-plan/nih-strategic-plan-definitions-and-parameters.html). It is expected that one site will be submitted as a coordinating R01 for data management and/or other centralized administration. For a linked set of collaborative R01s, each application has its own Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI). The collaborative R01 program provides a mechanism for cross-R01 coordination, quality control, database management, statistical analysis, and reporting.
Deadlines:
- Letter of Intent Due Date(s): 30 days prior to application due date
- R01 Due Dates: Feb. 5, Jun. 5, Oct. 5
- AIDS Due Dates: Jan. 7, May 7, Sep. 7
PAR-23-050 Expiration Date New Date January 08, 2025 per NOT-MH-25-020 (Prior Date January 08, 2026). Any due dates beyond the new expiration date are no longer available.
Multiple PDs/PIs are allowed on any single application. Because the FOA already supports a team approach between groups of experts across sites and collaborating applications, the designation of multiple PDs/PIs on a single application may be less likely to apply. PD(s)/PI(s) from each linked application should not be designated as multiple PDs/PIs on each application of a collaborative set.
