Description
Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), solicits research grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to investigate the role of sensitive periods (i.e., periods during which the developing brain is maximally sensitive to environmental influences that confer risk or resilience) in the development of cognitive or affective function and behaviors relevant to mental health disorders. In particular, applications may address sensitive periods in the development of normal function or psychopathology, sensitive periods for intervention to prevent, pre-empt, and/or treat mental illness, and the mechanisms underlying the interaction between genetics, experience, and development.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA-MH-10-010, which solicits applications under the Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism.
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIMH intends to commit approximately $5,000,000 in FY 2010 to fund 10-15 grants in response to this FOA and the companion announcement.
