ORR uses the term “survivors” to refer to individuals who were tortured in another country and are now living in the United States. Torture is defined by U.S. law as an act which is intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering and committed by a person acting under the color of law upon another person who one has under one’s custody or physical control (18 U.S. Code §2340). TA activities include, but are not limited to, developing evidence-based interventions and conducting field research, disseminating information to further an evidence-based community of practice, producing and maintaining online resources, providing training and consultation to grantees and community partners, facilitating grantee organizational self-assessments to evaluate service capacity and to determine TA priorities, and promoting program evaluation and strategic planning.

##   Direct Services for Survivors of Torture

09/10/2021

//

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites the submission of applications for funding for the Direct Services for Survivors of Torture (DS SOT) Program, with the aim of helping survivors and their families to overcome the severe, pervasive, and long-lasting effects of torture, and to achieve sustained physical, social, emotional, and economic well-being. ORR uses the term “survivors” to refer to individuals who were tortured in another country and are now living in the United States. Torture is defined by U.S. law as an act which is intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering and committed by a person acting under the color of law upon another person who one has under one’s custody or physical control (18 U.S. Code §2340). The DS SOT Program encompasses a comprehensive approach to supporting the integration and well-being of survivors of torture through the following two objectives: to increase survivors' access to and engagement with effective, holistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed services; and to maintain and grow a strong and sustainable national network of culturally responsive service providers. Services and activities under the DS SOT Program include, but are not limited to, the following: culturally and linguistically appropriate, trauma-informed coordination of care encompassing case management, legal assistance, medical and mental health services, housing, and occupational and educational services; coordination with other service providers, including the State Refugee Coordinator and State Refugee Health Coordinator, to ensure seamless access to services for survivors; and outreach to and engagement with survivors, thereby ensuring their empowerment and integration, especially in the case of marginalized survivor sub-groups such as refugees, survivors of gender-based violence, and LGBTQ individuals.

##   Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Intervention (ATN) Scientific Leadership Center (UM2 Clinical Trial Required), and Operations and Collaborations Center (UM1 Clinical Trial)

09/24/2021

Not Provided

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), with other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications for a research program cooperative agreement to support the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) to develop and conduct innovative behavioral, community-based, translational, therapeutic, microbicide and vaccine trials in youth ages 13-24 years at-risk for HIV and living with HIV, with a focus on the inclusion of minors. This FOA will encourage a more focused, clinical research agenda, with increased emphasis on registrational trials of biomedical interventions. The ATN is the sole HIV clinical trials network focused exclusively on youth, and will continue to design, develop and conduct clinical trials as well as pertinent formative and implementation science research studies, and enroll youth participants into rigorously designed, collaborative protocols to address high-priority HIV research areas. The ATN will include a UM2 Scientific Leadership Center (SLC) to include a Scientific Leadership Group, a Statistical and Data Management Core, and 5-8 Research Projects. . The ATN will also include a UM2 Operations and Collaborations Center (OCC) to include at least 8 Site Consortiums made up of established collaborations among clinics, academic universities, community-based organizations, health departments and other partners. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The FOA is expected to be published in Fall 2021, with an expected application due date in Winter 2022. This FOA will utilize the UM2 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.

##   Using Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions to Optimize Established Adolescent Mental Health Treatments (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)

11/15/2021

02/22/2023

The proposed FOA would solicit applications focused on enhancing the potency of established adolescent mental health treatments through the use of developmentally informed and theoretically grounded JITAIs. While JITAIs could be applied to established interventions across the lifespan, we propose focusing specifically on adolescence - a developmental period characterized by heightened risk for new onset or worsening mental illness, poor engagement with face-to-face interventions, and peak engagement with technology. JITAIs have the potential to capitalize on adolescents near ubiquitous use of technology to facilitate symptom reduction and behavior change by providing content via an intrinsically motivating platform, facilitating skills practice in ecologically-valid contexts, tailoring the intervention to match the adolescents needs and preferences, providing in-the-moment feedback and reinforcement, and scaffolding adolescents in real time to mitigate impairments. Recent technological advancements have greatly improved the feasibility of delivering JITAIs, and these interventions have shown promise in a variety of health and addiction domains. Yet, no studies of JITAIs for adolescent mental disorders have been published to date, highlighting the need for research in this emerging area of intervention science.
