Description: -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research project grant applications on the topic of women&apos;s mental health in relation to pregnancy and the postpartum period. The FOA encourages research on perinatal mood and other mental disorders in four areas: (1) clinical course, epidemiology and risk factors; (2) basic and clinical neuroscience; (3) interventions; and (4) services. Research is encouraged both on perinatal non-psychotic mood disorders and on psychotic disorders. Studies exploring the effects of current or lifetime drug abuse, including treatment status and comorbid conditions, on onset and course of mental disorders during the perinatal period are also encouraged. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-06-377, that solicits applications under the Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
