This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to encourage the development of collaborative partnerships between scientists who study basic behavioral processes and those who study the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental and behavioral disorders (including drug abuse and addiction) and the delivery of services to those suffering from those disorders. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) are issuing this FOA as part of a major, long-term commitment to (a) encourage the systematic translation of basic behavioral theory, methods, and findings into research designed to reduce the burden of mental illness and behavioral disorders (including drug abuse and addiction) and (b) encourage basic behavioral scientists to seek a further understanding of behavioral processes through an exploration of how those processes are altered by mental and behavioral disorders. This FOA was developed in response to a report written by the National Advisory Mental Health Council's Behavioral Science Workgroup, entitled "Translating Behavioral Science into Action," http://www.nimh.nih.gov/tbsia/tbsiatoc.cfm. Collaborative R01 grant applications are also being solicited.
