Concept Clearance » Renewal of the National Cooperative Drug/Device Discovery/Development Groups (NCDDG) for the Treatment of Mental or Substance Use Disorders or Alcohol Addiction
The goal of the NCDDG Program is to advance the discovery, preclinical development, and early proof of concept testing in humans of new pharmacologic and neuromodulatory approaches to treat mental disorders, substance use disorders (SUDs), or alcohol addiction, and to develop novel ligands and circuit-engagement devices as tools to further characterize existing or to validate new drug/device targets.

Concept Clearance » Genetic Architecture of Mental Disorders in Ancestrally Diverse Populations
The goal of this initiative is to support the collection and genomic characterization of cohorts with severe mental illness from diverse ancestral backgrounds. The focus of this initiative will be the collection of large patient cohorts of non-Caucasian or admixed ancestries in the U.S. and around the globe. Study designs using case-control, parent-offspring trios, nuclear families or a combination thereof will be supported.

Concept Clearance » Accelerating Treatment Development Research in Clinical High Risk for Psychosis
This concept proposes to establish a network of academic and community sites that can rapidly recruit well-characterized cohorts of help-seeking individuals who meet criteria for “clinical high risk” (CHR) for psychosis. The multi-site network will conduct collaborative studies to test and validate biological measures and prediction algorithms to support experimental medicine trials involving CHR participants.

Concept Clearance » BRAIN Initiative: Non-Invasive Neuromodulation - New Tools and Techniques for Spatiotemporal Precision
The goal of this initiative is to support grant applications in two related but distinct areas. The first area involves developing and testing novel tools and methods of neuromodulation that go beyond the existing forms of neural stimulation. The second area involves the optimization of existing stimulation methods.

Concept Clearance » Identification, Validation, and Manipulation of Neural Circuits Related to Mental Illness, in Non-human Primates
The goal of this initiative is to support the identification, validation and manipulation of neural circuits that underlie cognitive, emotional, and social processes impacted in mental illnesses. The initiative is focused on probing psychiatrically relevant behavior through studies in non-human primates. This initiative is intended to complement existing NIMH-funded preclinical investigation of circuits which have often focused on smaller brains.
