THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Child/Youth Health, Mental Health, Healthcare Access, Research
Deadline: Jan. 10, 2020
“The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (“KTGF”) funds programs in children’s mental health, principally in the areas of childhood/adolescent depression and ADHD. It also funds medical student programs in child and adolescent psychiatry at select medical institutions. Through these programs, the KTGF seeks to further research in pediatric ADHD and pediatric depression, cultivate more child and adolescent psychiatrists and increase knowledge of mental health in physicians.
We are soliciting applications for investigator-initiated proposals to demonstrate the benefits of new health care delivery methods or prevention approaches. We are particularly interested in funding applications that build on promising pilot work and aim to develop larger demonstration projects.
In particular, the KTGF is most interested in improving access to mental health care for children and expanding the number of professional and paraprofessional treatment personnel who are trained to deliver mental health services. Primary outcomes should include the measurement of improved access and reduced time to service delivery. We are additionally interested in the following secondary outcomes: minimizing the burdens and maladaptive behaviors associated with mental health problems in children; decreasing the development of secondary co-morbid disorders, and the development of adverse educational, relational and health outcomes; and improving the functioning of youth and their families. Because parents can be important to the successful treatment of their children, another secondary outcome is the enhanced ability of parents to facilitate their children’s access to treatment…”
Funder: The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (KTGF)
Eligibility: “Investigators from institutions and agencies that provide mental and behavioral health programs for children and adolescents are eligible. Investigators can be at any stage in their career but must have collected enough pilot data to inform the development of the proposed project and must be well enough established to lead an effort such as this. For investigators who are relatively early in their career, we recommend partnering with a more senior investigator who has expertise in program development and dissemination.”
Amount: Up to $100,000 ($50,000 per year for two years)
