The  Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (KTGF) is soliciting applications for academic investigators conducting research to demonstrate the benefits of novel ways to access or deliver mental health care or prevention approaches that can be implemented at scale. This RFP is specifically for high quality research that builds upon promising pilot work and will lead to a larger demonstration project. Requests for service projects and applications that primarily focus on expanding services will not be reviewed.

 

In particular, KTGF is interested in improving access to high quality mental health care and prevention for children and adolescents through the use of novel models or promising approaches, including expanding the number of professional and paraprofessional treatment personnel who are trained to deliver mental health services, delivering care in non-psychiatric settings (e.g., primary care, schools, home, or other novel settings), digital technology (e.g., the internet, apps for cell phones), and approaches that help parents access care for their children.

 

The primary outcomes of the project include improved access and/or reduced time to service delivery, or implementation outcomes such as stakeholder involvement, acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity.  Primary outcomes should demonstrate that the project is being designed for scalability. Secondary outcomes include clinical or functional outcomes that are likely to improve when access to care is enhanced, such as decreased symptoms, burdens and maladaptive behaviors associated with mental health problems; improved educational, relational and health outcomes; or enhanced youth and family functioning.

 

Eligibility:

Faculty & Pls

Academic researchers from universities, research institutions, health systems or other settings that are positioned to provide rigorous high-quality research focused on transforming mental and behavioral health care that improves outcomes for children and adolescents are eligible.  Investigators can be at any stage in their career but must have collected enough pilot data to inform the development of the proposed research project and must be well enough established to lead an effort such as this. For investigators who are early in their career, we strongly recommend mentoring from a more senior academic researcher who has expertise in program development and dissemination.

The Gulf Research Program’s Early-Career Research Fellowship supports emerging scientific leaders as they take risks on research ideas not yet tested, pursue unique collaborations, and build a network of colleagues who share their interest in improving offshore energy system safety and the well-being of coastal communities and ecosystems.

For the 2023-2025 Application Cycle, the Human Health and Community Resilience track goal focuses on contributing to the understanding and mitigation of factors that may amplify the compounding effects of disasters on the health and resilience of historically disadvantaged, overburdened, or marginalized communities in the Gulf of Mexico region or Alaska.

 

Applicants must, at the time of application:

• Hold a permanent, fully independent position as an investigator, faculty member, clinician scientist, or scientific team lead in industry, academia, or a research organization. A postdoc is not considered a fully independent position.
• Be an early-career scientist who has received their eligible degree within the past 10 years (on or after January 1, 2013).
• Hold a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, ScD, EngD, MD, DrPH, or DVM) in the social and behavioral sciences, health sciences and medicine, engineering and physical sciences, earth and life sciences, or interdisciplinary scientific fields relevant to the charge of the Gulf Research Program.

Description:

Burroughs Wellcome Fund  (BWF)’s Innovation in Regulatory Science Awards provides up to $500,000 over five years to academic investigators developing new methodologies or innovative approaches in regulatory science that will ultimately inform the regulatory decisions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and others make. This would necessarily draw upon the talents of individuals trained in mathematics, computer science, applied physics, medicine, engineering, toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, systems pharmacology, and food safety and nutrition to name a few.

Eligibility:

BWF strongly encourages applications from persons who have been historically underrepresented in the research enterprise, including but not limited to: women of any ethnic or racial group; any person identifying as Black or African American, Latino/a or Hispanic American, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, indigenous to the Pacific Islands; persons with disabilities; persons from disadvantaged backgrounds (see NOT-OD-20-031 for examples); and individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+.
