Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to support research grants focused on rigorous effectiveness testing of innovative services interventions that demonstrably reduce the prevalence and magnitude of common health risk factors related to shortened lifespan in youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and young adults with severe mental illness. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, smoking, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, low physical activity, substance use, poor fitness and diet. This FOA aims to generate the service delivery knowledge necessary to achieve 100% screening of this population for common, cardiometabolic risks and 100% referral to appropriate care to manage the identified risks. This FOA aims to support population-based approaches to prevention, identification and intervention, i.e., targeting cardiometabolic risk in entire populations of youth with SED and/or young adults with SMI within a given community or healthcare setting.
