Plain-English explanation
This NIMH R01 opportunity is a strong conceptual fit for a statistically powered, definitive effectiveness trial of a post-acute therapeutic or service-delivery intervention for a mental health condition affecting youth, adults, or older adults. Projects should align the intervention’s focus and intensity or burden with the post-acute stage and longer-term aims such as maintaining gains, managing residual symptoms or impairment, preventing relapse, promoting adherence, or appropriate service use. The notice encourages hypotheses about moderators, mediators, and mechanisms. Pilot feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and preliminary-effectiveness work is directed to a companion R34 rather than this R01. Formal review criteria, budgets, and detailed clinical-trial requirements require confirmation in the full announcement.
