Social Drivers of Mental Illnesses in Low- & Middle-Income Countries: Mechanisms and Pathways of Interventions for Youth

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit research that will help to identify and explain the mechanisms and pathways by which interventions targeting social drivers of mental illnesses affect the mental health and functioning of children and/or adolescents (ages 5-24 years) living in World Bank designated low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and previously designated LMICs re-categorized as high income on or after January 1, 2021. Studies should use innovative approaches to capture as much real-world complexity as possible in identifying and elucidating mechanisms and pathways that reduce risk for mental illnesses or improve mental health in children and/or adolescents. NIMH welcomes applicants from LMICs and strongly encourages applicants from the United States or upper middle income countries to partner with sites in LMICs.
