THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Health, Mental Health, Child/Youth Mental Health, Healthcare Access, Research
Deadline: Dec. 15, 2025
“We are soliciting applications for academic investigators conducting research to demonstrate the benefits of novel ways to access or deliver mental health care or prevention approaches that can be implemented at scale. This application is specifically for high quality research that builds upon promising pilot work, adapts interventions for future scaling using established principles from community participatory approaches and implementation science frameworks, and has the potential to lead to a larger demonstration project. Requests for service projects and applications that primarily focus on expanding services or measuring quality within an organization without a rigorous research component or without pilot data related to the intervention will not be reviewed.
In particular, Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation is interested in improving access to high quality mental health care and prevention for children and adolescents through the use of novel models or promising approaches leveraging the latest science from mental health services research and implementation science. This includes (but is not exhaustive):
- Testing new models of care delivery (e.g., shifting delivery of clinical care tasks to non-traditional personnel such as outreach or community mental health workers)
- Adapting and testing approaches to deliver care in atypical settings (e.g., primary care, schools, home, emergency rooms, or other novel settings)
- Testing scalable digital approaches (e.g., through use of technology including internet-based engagement, apps for cell phones)
- Approaches that help parents access care for their children (e.g., peer advocates).
The primary outcomes of the project should include implementation outcomes such as reach, acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity and/or service outcomes such as improved access and/or reduced time to service delivery. Primary outcomes should demonstrate that the project is being designed for scalability. Secondary outcomes include clinical or functional outcomes that are likely to improve with access to high quality care, such as decreased symptoms, burdens, and/or maladaptive behaviors associated with mental health challenges; improved educational, relational, and/or health outcomes; or enhanced youth and family functioning.”
Funder: Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (KTGF)
Eligibility: “Academic researchers from universities, research institutions, health systems or other settings that are positioned to provide rigorous high-quality research focused on transforming mental and behavioral health care that improves outcomes for children and adolescents are eligible. Investigators must reside within institutions based in the United States, where all research on the project will be completed.”
