NAMHC Concept Clearances
Approved Concepts for Requests for Applications (RFAs), Program Announcements (PAs), and Requests for Proposals (RFPs)
Specific information on each initiative, including receipt date, will be available once the RFA, PA, or RFP has been published. This page provides links to recently cleared concepts for upcoming solicitations and presents key information, including the objectives and descriptions of future solicitations and a direct link to NIMH staff contacts. The NIMH staff contacts can provide additional information on specific concepts, where available and appropriate.
This listing of potential future initiatives is meant to provide the earliest possible alert to potential applicants in order to maximize application preparation time. While the NIMH plans to proceed with these initiatives, their publication and timing is not certain and depends on sufficient funds being available. The titles and brief descriptions are consistent with the information available at the time of concept clearance. The resultant RFAs, PAs, RFPs may differ from the concepts in the final wording of the titles or other aspects.
The NAMHC conducts most, but not all, NIMH concept clearances. Concepts may also be cleared through other public venues.
For more information, see the NIH Guide’s list of published RFAs and PAs and NIMH Contracts.
