The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), are sponsoring research grants for public mental health and/or substance abuse services research within "rapidly evolving areas" such as health care financing, policy, or changes in service systems.

Successful applicants will propose an "uncommon and scientifically significant services research opportunity that could only become available if the project is initiated with minimum delay." The monetary amount and number of awards will depend on the applications received.

Eligible applicants include Native American governments, nonprofits, city or state governments, private institutes of higher education, and more. Application deadline has been extended until June 10, 2009.
