Description:
This program announcement supercedes three prior announcements for the support of
research infrastructure: Interventions and Practice Research Infrastructure
Program (PAR-00-096), Interventions Infrastructure Program (PAR-99-064), and the
Research Infrastructure Support Program (PAR-94-096).
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) seeks to expand the number of
partnerships between community-based, clinical/services settings and academic
institutions. The goal is to enhance the national capacity to provide evidence-
based mental health care in community settings that is sensitive to the social and
cultural needs of patients and providers and to the feasibility concerns of the
community organizations involved. This program announcement (PA), Interventions
and Practice Research Infrastructure Support Program (IP-RISP), responds to
recommendations made by the National Advisory Mental Health Councils (NAMHC)
report, Bridging Science and Service (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/bridge.htm).
The IP-RISP seeks to foster an active, synergistic partnership between mental
health researchers and community-based, clinical/services staff, clinicians and
patients/clients to: (1) advance our knowledge about developing research
infrastructure in community settings and the establishment of collaborative
partnerships; (2) identify and incorporate those factors (e.g., organizational,
sociocultural, interpersonal) in community settings that may be associated with
quality care and optimal outcomes for patients and clients; and (3) test adapted,
evidence-based interventions (treatment, rehabilitative, and preventive) in
community settings.
