Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the Mental Health Research Network (MHRN), a research resource consortium within several non-profit integrated health care delivery systems. Originally, the MHRN was created to develop infrastructure that would demonstrate the ability to identify, recruit and enroll large patient populations into effectiveness trials, harmonize electronic medical record data across multiple integrated systems for research use, pool data for common analyses, and build capacity for the collection and storage of biologic material. This FOA is intended to provide targeted expansion of the network to 1) develop capacity to perform trials involving pharmacotherapy, 2) develop procedures for deploying large-scale mental health IT interventions, and 3) conduct a signature project of large population impact on an area of high priority to the field. It is expected that the MHRN will continue to implement appropriate procedures to collaborate with outside investigators on a variety of applicable studies, will use the virtual data warehouse (VDW) on a range of studies including policy impact, practice variation, and signal detection, and will effectively disseminate the outcomes of research projects within the large health care delivery systems to which the MHRN is connected.
