School Mental and Behavioral Health: Expanding Access to Evidence-Based Interventions and Services is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH). This highlighted topic encourages research focused on optimizing and testing school-based mental and behavioral health interventions and service delivery models. It emphasizes research-informed approaches that can be rapidly deployed and sustained in school and afterschool program settings using available resources and personnel. Relevant research includes validating sustainable strategies for operationalizing mental health risk, detecting students at risk, and matching students to appropriate interventions and services, including referring to specialty mental health care when needed.
Development of Psychosocial Therapeutic and Preventive Interventions for Mental Disorders (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required) is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
