NU Collaboration Initiative Funding Opportunity
The Collaboration Initiative is designed to help University of Nebraska researchers become more competitive for extramural funding by fostering meaningful collaborations that leverage the full intellectual capacity of faculty across the University’s four campuses.
The RFA for this opportunity
will solicit proposals from multi-campus, multidisciplinary teams. Principal Investigators must be available to attend the NU Collaboration Initiative retreat on
Oct. 31

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to encourage research to integrate/harmonize existing data sets from preventive intervention trials implemented early in life to:
1) examine risk and protective factors relevant to later mental health outcomes in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood; and
2) determine whether preventive interventions delivered earlier in life have long-term effects, and/or cross-over effects (e.g., unanticipated beneficial effects), on important mental health outcomes, including serious mental illness (e.g., depression, anxiety, suicide ideation and behaviors, and psychosis behaviors).
NIMH intends to commit $3 million to fund 4-6 awards and NCCIH intends to commit $500,000 to fund 1 award.
