Refinement and Testing of Interventions to Sustain ADHD Treatment Effects Across Settings and Developmental Transitions (R34 Clinical Trial Required)

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-20-100 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. NIMH seeks applications for pilot projects to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of augmented or modified interventions designed to promote sustained improvement in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and functional impairments across settings and transitions in children, adolescents, and young adults. An emphasis is placed on trials that go beyond seeking incremental gains in intervention effects, and instead take a theory-driven, empirical approach to applying modifications that will have a significant and enduring impact on functioning. In this pilot phase of effectiveness research, the trial should be designed to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and potential effectiveness of the approach; to address whether the intervention engages the target mechanism(s) presumed to underlie the intervention effects; and to obtain necessary preliminary data as a pre-requisite to a larger-scale, definitive effectiveness trial.
