Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research on 1) the development and/or pilot testing of new or adapted interventions, 2) the adaptation and/or pilot testing of interventions with demonstrated efficacy for use in broader scale effectiveness trials, or 3) innovative services research directions that require preliminary testing or development.

Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIMH R34 award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards.
