Outreach Partners Solicitation Process
NIMH is no longer accepting proposals in response to its 2008 Solicitation for new Outreach Partners. An award has been announced for a new Outreach Partner in Southern California. NIMH plans to re-issue the solicitation for vacant Outreach Partner positions in 2009.
Each organization selected as an NIMH Outreach Partner will receive a $7,500 yearly stipend. Partners are expected to leverage these funds to conduct statewide, science-based mental health outreach and education efforts aimed at specific groups and the media. Participation in the program assures that Outreach Partners are quickly aware of the most recent advances in mental illness and substance abuse research. They, in turn, help NIMH disseminate that information throughout their state. The Program is also designed to provide Outreach Partners with the opportunities to communicate to NIMH the public health needs of communities within their states. This feedback becomes an essential part of the planning process for developing the NIMH research agenda and provides insights that will help NIMH meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population. The Program’s other benefits include networking opportunities with other state and national organizations, participation in the annual meeting, and easy access to relevant NIMH publications for mass distribution.
