Effectiveness Trials to Test Mental Health System Interventions (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)

This R61/R33 concept complements NIMHs suite of clinical trial NOFOs by supporting feasibility and infrastructure development (R61) followed by well-powered clinical trials (R33) to test the effectiveness of system interventions and strategies for improving the organization, delivery, coordination, and clinical and functional outcomes of mental health services. System interventions - which may span, for example, structural, policy, organizational, and interpersonal domains - attend to issues about the access, equity, engagement/utilization, value (cost/financing), management, or quality and safety of mental health services, with the goal of improved care processes and clinical and functional outcomes. Accordingly, the focus of system interventions may include a variety of care settings, such as health systems and organizations, mental health and community clinics, schools, and child welfare or juvenile justice systems
