Urea cycle disorders fall under this definition. The program funds clinical trials and natural history studies.

Social disconnection and Suicide Risk in Late Life (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH). This funding opportunity is a companion to the R21 mechanism and also aims to stimulate research to understand the link between social disconnection and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. It focuses on identifying mechanisms by which social disconnection confers risk for, and social integration protects against, suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. This R01 mechanism is appropriate for applications with preliminary data.
