Description: -Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is to invite grant applications for research designed to elucidate the epidemiology, etiology, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders, including emotional and behavioral problems, in persons of any age with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation).

This FOA, Research on Psychopathology In Intellectual Disabilities (Mental Retardation), will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. Applications of related or identical scientific scope are also solicited under the NIH Small Research Grant (R03), the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21), the NIMH Clinical Exploratory Research Grant (R34), and the NIMH Collaborative Program (R01) award mechanisms, responding to FOAs PA-06-180, PA-06-181, PAR-06-248, and PA-07-092, respectively. (For inquiries, see Section VII, Agency Contacts. ) -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.
