Description: NIMH seeks applications for pilot effectiveness projects to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of service-ready tools and technologies that can be used to advance training, quality monitoring, and quality improvement efforts and ultimately improve the availability of evidence-based suicide prevention services. Specifically, this initiative encourages research on the effectiveness-implementation continuum aimed at (1) developing and testing the effectiveness of optimized, service-ready suicide prevention tools for identification, prevention, and treatment of individuals at risk for suicide; and (2) testing strategies to improve adoption, implementation fidelity, and sustained use of these tools, guided by an implementation science framework. Given the focus on practice-ready accessible resources and products that could be readily integrated into practice, NIMH encourages the use of technology and other design features that make the tools scalable and robust against implementation drift, and a deployment-focused? approach that takes into account the perspectives of key stakeholders (e.g., service users, providers, administrators) and system-level factors, such as workforce capacitythat influence potential integration of tools into clinical workflows. This FOA supports pilot effectiveness research to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety and preliminary indications of effectiveness of service-ready tools and technologies for suicide prevention and inform the design of definitive effectiveness trials. Support for fully-powered, definitive effectiveness studies focused on service-ready tools and technologies or suicide prevention is provided via the R01 in RFA-MH-21-110. Support for SBIR studies focused on service-ready tools and technologies or suicide prevention is provided via the R4?3?/?R?4?4 in RFA-MH-21-112.
