Collaborative R01s for Clinical Studies of Mental Illness Not Involving Clinical Trials (Collaborative R01)

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-256 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to support collaborative clinical studies, not involving treatment development, efficacy, or effectiveness trials. Primary areas of focus include mental health genetics, biomarker studies, and studies of mental illnesses (e.g., psychopathology, neurodevelopmental trajectories of psychopathology) also when associated with HIV/AIDS. 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 sample diversity and representation. In studies with a large number of sites, 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.
