| Funding Opportunity Title: | Research Partnerships for Going to Scale with Mental Health Interventions in Low-and Middle-Income Countries (U19) |
This
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications to address
implementation questions facing World Bank designated low- and
middle-income countries (LMICs) in their efforts to scale up
sustainable, evidence-based mental health interventions and thereby
eliminate the mental health care treatment gap for children, women, and
men. The mental health treatment gap refers to the proportion of persons
who need, but do not receive care. Each awarded project is to conduct
implementation research and research capacity-building activities in
LMICs in any one of the following geographical regions: East Asia and
the Pacific; Europe and Central Asia; Latin America and the Caribbean;
Middle East and North Africa; South Asia; Sub-Saharan Africa. As a
group, awardees will constitute a network for mental health
implementation research in LMICs with capabilities for answering
research questions about going to scale with mental health
interventions, sustaining high-quality mental health care in
resource-limited settings, and fostering evidence-based mental health
policy and program development on an ongoing basis. This program is not
intended to support research that can be conducted primarily in and/or
by United States or other high income country institutions.
