Executive Summary

This Program Announcement (PA) invites investigator-initiated research grant applications for studies examining the adverse effects of psychopharmacological medications across the lifespan (including pediatric, adult and geriatric populations). Applications responsive to this PA should focus on clinical models of the pathophysiology of psychotropic medication adverse effects; genomic, proteonomic or clinical-epidemiological approaches to the identification of high risk populations; the creation of theory-based psychosocial treatments to modify behavioral risk factors for adverse effects such as weight gain; and the development and testing of novel pharmacological approaches to the prevention or mitigation of treatment-emergent side effects.

Since the nature and scope of the research will vary among applications, 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 (R03, R21, R34, R01) numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.

This PA uses the NIH R01, R21, R34, and R03 mechanisms and is open to profit and not for profit organizations, public or private, including eligible agencies of local, state, and federal governments. Domestic or foreign institutions may apply.

Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct.

The application form is available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html
