The purpose of this SAMHSA program is to create a National Center for Mental Health Dissemination, Implementation, and Sustainment (MHDIS) to build the capacity of CMHS grant recipients, as well as organizations that oversee or directly provide mental health services to improve the implementation of evidence-based change management processes that guide mental health services. This will be accomplished by establishing five bi-regional Mental Health Technical Assistance Centers (MTACs) that provide localized, targeted and intensive technical assistance (TA) to CMHS grant recipients and other mental health providers.

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits applications for identification of small molecules that function to elucidate the biology of disease as chemical probes or function as agonists or antagonists of disease target(s) for therapy or immunotherapy. The NOFO is intended to support discovery research for the identification of validated hits relevant to health-related outcomes of participating NIH Institutes. Stages of discovery research covered by this NOFO include: 1) assay development for specific biological targets and disease mechanisms relevant to the mission of participating NIH Institutes with the intent to screen for small molecule compounds that show potential as probes for use in advancing knowledge about the known targets, identifying new targets, or as pre-therapeutic leads; 2) screen implementation high throughput target-focused approaches or moderate throughput phenotypic- and fragment-based approaches to identify initial screening hits; 3) hit validation, including implementation of secondary assays that are orthogonal to the primary assay, advanced cheminformatics analysis and initial medicinal chemistry inspection to prioritize the hit set, and follow-up assays to characterize mode and mechanism of action of the validated hits; 4) hit-to-lead optimization, including SAR to optimize target engagement, selectivity and to minimize chemical liabilities, ADME, PK and PD studies, and, if appropriate, in vivo modeling to test efficacy or biological effects.

Reissue of PA-18-350. The NIMH Exploratory/Developmental Grant program supports exploratory and high-risk research projects that fall within the NIMH mission by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of these projects. These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methods, measures, models, or strategies, or to the generation of pilot or feasibility data. The preliminary work from these studies could lead to a major impact on biomedical, behavioral, or clinical mental health research, or on the delivery of mental health care.

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will support projects proposing mechanistic studies that will transform our understanding of polysubstance use in addiction. These hypothesis-based, exploratory projects may investigate mechanisms of polysubstance use at the behavioral, cognitive, cellular, circuit, genetic, epigenetic, pharmacological and/or computational levels. Research on substance use disorders (SUDs) has primarily focused on individual substances although polysubstance use is prevalent. Polysubstance use is the use of more than one addictive substance within a defined interval; the use may be sequential (use of multiple substances on separate occasions), or concurrent/simultaneous. Limiting studies to an individual addictive substance overlooks potential interactions between substances and could influence the translational potential of preclinical research findings. Results from several studies have demonstrated that the use of multiple addictive substances produces pharmacokinetic and behavioral profiles that are distinct from those produced by a single substance. Despite this recognition, little is known about the precise pharmacological mechanisms and interactions that may contribute to such outcomes, or co-morbidities resulting from co-use. There is also a significant lack in our understanding of how the activity of discrete cells, genes, circuits, expression of receptors, ion channels, intrinsic excitability or signaling mechanisms in the reward systems synergize when exposed to distinct classes of drugs simultaneously or sequentially. Even less is known about these mechanisms in brain regions and circuits that underlie negative reinforcement, or how neurotransmitters, neuromodulators or stress interact within these circuits to contribute to the behavioral and pharmacological profiles observed following polysubstance use. In addition, there is a need for behavioral models of polysubstance use that have translational potential. Research Objectives: The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks to stimulate innovative research that will transform our understanding of the basic mechanisms that underlie polysubstance use in addiction. These studies will investigate novel neurobiological, pharmacological and/or behavioral mechanisms underlying the biobehavioral outcomes of polysubstance use. Research areas and questions of programmatic interest include, but are not limited to: Identification and/or characterization of molecules, genes, cells (including non-neuronal cells), neural pathways, circuits, receptors, ion channels, intrinsic excitability, pharmacological and signaling mechanisms mediating the effects of polysubstance use. Mechanisms underlying the association of early adolescent polysubstance use with SUD’s in adulthood. Sex differences in the development and trajectory of polysubstance use. What are the roles of organizational and activational effects of sex steroids on discrete brain regions and neural circuits, and how is this altered with exposure to polysubstance use? What are the developmental determinants? Are there developmental windows during which polysubstance use would be facilitated? What are the pharmacologic, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions that can impact toxicity, or the SUD trajectory? How do environmental factors interact with brain circuits to influence the development and trajectory of SUDs involving polysubstance use? How does stress interact with brain circuits to influence the development and trajectory of SUDs involving polysubstance use? Are there neurobehavioral risk phenotypes for progression to polysubstance use? What are the neurocognitive and neurobehavioral changes that occur through experience with different patterns of polysubstance use? Applications Not Responsive to this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) The following types of studies are not responsive to this NOFO and will not be reviewed: The major goal of the project is not targeted at delineating the basic mechanisms underlying polysubstance use in addiction. Projects limited exclusively to the phenomenology of polysubstance use, consequences of polysubstance use, or those focused exclusively on the development of tools or animal models. Projects that do not focus on combinations of two or more addictive substances with well-justified translational and public health relevance. Projects that do not include a psychostimulant, opioid, or cannabinoid in the polysubstance combination. Alcohol may be included in the polysubstance combination. Research that does not pertain to at least one of the stages of the substance use trajectory, including, but not limited to initiation, escalation, withdrawal and/or relapse. Other application considerations: Collaborative research teams to foster the sharing of conceptual and/or technical expertise are strongly encouraged. Applicants using animal models are encouraged to use models reflective of chronic and voluntary drug intake. Preliminary data are not required but may be included if available. In the absence of preliminary data, a strong premise should be provided for testing a novel hypothesis based upon the scientific literature as well as evidence of the team’s ability to carry out the proposed studies through published or technical preliminary data.
