The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation Transformation of Mental Health Care Program invites established investigators based in the USA who conduct research with innovative methods for accessing and delivering mental health care that can be implemented at scale. The aim is to demonstrate the benefits of novel ways to access or deliver mental health care or prevention approaches, including expanding the number of professional and paraprofessional treatment personnel who are trained to deliver mental health services, delivering care in non-psychiatric settings (e.g., primary care, schools, home, or other novel settings), digital technology (e.g., the internet, apps for cell phones) and approaches that help parents access care for their children.
Applications are open to academic researchers from universities, research institutions, health systems or other settings that are positioned to provide rigorous, high-quality focused research. Investigators must be based in the United States, where all research on the project will be completed. Investigators can be at any stage in their career, but must have pilot data to inform the development of the proposed research project and must be well enough established to lead an effort such as this. Early-career investigators should collaborate with a more senior academic researcher who has expertise in program development and dissemination. Co-applicants and principal investigators must be based at the same institution.
The award provides 100,000 USD per year over two years, inclusive of 10% of indirect costs.
Applications open on September 1, 2025, and close on December 15, 2025.
