<li><strong>Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Budget: </strong> On December 27, 2020, then-President Trump signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/133" rel="external">Public Law No. 116-260 <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>) providing funds through September 30, 2021. The law provides $2.11 billion to NIMH (amount includes 21st Century Cures funding), representing a three percent increase over the FY 2020 appropriation. NIMH anticipates awarding more than 550 new and competing research project grants (RPGs) in FY 2021, with an estimated success rate of 21 percent as shown in Figure 1 below.<br>

<li>Although NIMH does not have a specific pay line, the Institute expects to support most of the applications that have an impact score up to the 10th percentile, many between the 10th and 20th percentiles, and some beyond the 20th percentile. Funding decisions are based on factors such as the Institute’s <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="7db249bf-8c01-4a5b-b70e-2aedc818e0f7" href="/about/strategic-planning-reports">Strategic Plan for Research</a>, ensuring representation of diverse perspectives, programmatic portfolio consideration, and availability of funds. Moreover, the Institute will give special consideration to certain applications in accordance with the <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/ngri.htm" rel="external">NIH Next Generation Researchers Initiative (NGRI) <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>.</li>
|

<li>Figure 2 shows the NIMH budget in appropriated (current) versus constant (FY 2000) dollars. Constant dollars are “inflation adjusted” for variations in the purchasing power of the dollar over time. Dollar amounts are adjusted based on the Biomedical Research and Development Price Index (BRDPI). The annual change in BRDPI indicates how much the NIH budget must change to maintain purchasing power similar to FY 2000.<br>

<h3 data-coder-anchor="2">Notable NIMH Grants</h3>
|

<li>The NIMH Biobehavioral Research Awards for Innovative New Scientists (<a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-MH-20-525.html" rel="external">NIMH BRAINS <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>) support research and career advancement of outstanding, exceptionally productive scientists who are in the early, formative stages of their careers and who plan to make a long-term career commitment to research in specific areas that align with the NIMH mission. NIMH BRAINS award recipient <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/2UO3tamNW0Crn9m6TQ65mg/project-details/10200242" rel="external"><strong>Katherine Nautiyal, Ph.D.</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, (Dartmouth College) aims to examine the brain mechanisms and circuits involved in the maturation of reward sensitivity and impulsive action in mice. Dr. Nautiyal proposes a novel mechanism through which serotonin drives adolescent neural development by modulating plasticity in the dorsomedial striatum (DMS), a region where neurons in the adolescent brain show increased activity in response to rewarding outcomes and actions, compared to adults. Dr. Nautiyal developed a novel apparatus to automate testing and monitor behavior in the mouse’s home environment. She plans to combine behavioral testing with measures of serotonin receptor expression and neural activity in the adolescent DMS to identify the behavioral and neural mechanisms through which serotonin modulates adolescent development. This work complements and is likely to extend research addressing the role of the striatum in reward processing.</li>
|
||
<li>African American individuals living with chronic health conditions are more likely to experience depression and other mental disorders but are less likely to be diagnosed or receive treatment, compared to their White counterparts. An especially vulnerable group is patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder that primarily affects people of African descent. With support from the NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research, <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/ry9AecIoK0SXBBU8IVTVqA/project-details/10113786" rel="external"><strong>Charles Jonassaint, Ph.D., MHS</strong> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a>, (University of Pittsburgh) aims to define the barriers to delivering routine mental health screening and treatment to adolescents and young adults with SCD. Further, Dr. Jonassaint aims to rapidly iterate, test, and evaluate implementation of digital mental health services to develop population-specific implementation strategies that can improve treatment engagement. The study may generate data and infrastructure to support future research on effective, low-cost, and scalable mental health treatment for adolescents and young adults with SCD. It may also inform novel targeted approaches for underserved populations with chronic diseases.</li>
|
||
<li>The NIMH Division of AIDS Research is supporting studies that examine HIV persistence in the central nervous system (CNS). One NIMH grantee, <strong><a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/QSTZ4vxM1EGTYxehDVXjSA/project-details/10258495" rel="external">Serena Spudich, Ph.D. <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a></strong>, (Yale University) plans to combine single cell technology, novel quantification of intact HIV DNA, and single genome sequencing to examine the phenotype of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cells and thoroughly characterize the size, stability, intactness, and sequence diversity of persistent HIV in CSF, compared to blood. Dr. Spudich also plans to rigorously examine differences in neuropsychiatric outcomes related to specific immunological and virological characteristics of the CNS in a diverse cohort of participants with a range of neuropsychiatric comorbidities. Understanding the mechanisms by which HIV impacts the CNS may lead to innovative targeted therapies that could modulate immunological factors or block specific viral effects to improve neuropsychological outcomes, even without total elimination of HIV in the CNS.</li>

<h3 data-coder-anchor="1">Program Announcements</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Program Announcements (PAs) are formal statements about new or ongoing extramural activities or programs. NIH may also make funds available through PARs (PAs with special receipt, referral, and/or review considerations) and PASs (PAs with set-aside funds). These types of FOAs may serve as a reminder of continuing interest in a research area, describe modification to an activity or program, and/or invite applications for grant support. Applications in response to PAs must be received by a standing submission date and are reviewed with all other applications received at that time using standard peer review criteria. PAs are also used to annually solicit applications for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.</p>

<li><strong>Support for Early Career Scientists Impacted by the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Pandemic: </strong>The COVID-19 pandemic, along with related extensive mitigation measures, has adversely affected progress in many biomedical research settings. Evidence from multiple sources, including a <a href="https://nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2021/03/25/the-impact-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-on-the-extramural-scientific-workforce-outcomes-from-an-nih-led-survey/" rel="external">survey <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-up-right-from-square ext-link-icon"></i></a> NIH issued to its extramural research workforce, indicates concerns about career trajectories for early career scientists. Therefore, within existing constraints of available funding, NIH may provide additional support to recipients of F or K awards, particularly those in their terminal year of support, whose career trajectory has been significantly affected by the pandemic. Grantees should consult with their Program Officers to determine whether these opportunities are appropriate.
