Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks research project grant (R01) applications that promote the establishment of an evidence base on contextually relevant, cost-effective integrated care interventions for the treatment of patients with co-morbid mental and chronic physical illnesses in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Specifically, this FOA will support research that builds on existing chronic disease care and treatment platforms to incorporate management of mental illness, employs a multi-disease care management approach with potentially high impact for improving patient- and system-level outcomes (e.g., patient morbidity and functioning; improved diagnosis of mental illness among patients with chronic medical illnesses; decreased cost to the health care system; improved care coordination), and establishes feasible methods for multi-disease management in LMICs.
