Reducing the Duration of Untreated Psychosis in the United States (R01 Clinical Trial Required)
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-233 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Approximately 100,000 adolescents and young adults in the United States experience a first episode of psychosis (FEP) every year. The early phase of psychotic illness is widely viewed as a critical opportunity for indicated prevention, and a chance to alter the downward trajectory and poor outcomes associated with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Compared to traditional treatment approaches, programs that integrate pharmacologic, psychological, and rehabilitation interventions for FEP, i.e., team-based Coordinated Specialty Care (C...

Research To Address Sleep Disorders in the Context of Medical Rehabilitation (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-212 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Patients with many disabilities report problems sleeping, but specific sleep disorders are often not diagnosed. Because sleep affects many physiological and behavioral parameters--depression, anxiety, pain, cancer, cardiovascular changes, immune function-- sleep disorders should be diagnosed and appropriately treated to maximize benefit of rehabilitation. Research is needed on ways to best approach this complexity in the context of medical rehabilitation for a primary, non-sleep disorder. (Source: NIH Funding Opportunities (Notices, PA, RFA))
