Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Returning Combat Veterans in the Community (R01)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), solicits applications to study the impact of existing national, state, and/or local community-based programs that address the behavioral adjustment and mental health needs of recent OIF/OEF combat veterans, including returning National Guard, Army Reserve, and newly separated active duty personnel. The NIMH intends to commit approximately $2.0 million in FY 2009 to fund 3 to 6 new grants in response to this announcement. It is hoped that research projects supported through this FOA will produce new information concerning effective strategies for fostering successful transition from combat to civilian roles for returning service members. NIMH expects that knowledge gained will benefit service members and their families, employers, and relevant federal, state, and local agencies, and will inform future initiatives for recently returned combat veterans.

Application due dates are October 28, 2008 and May 1, 2009.
