Here is NIMH

There were 51% as many new R01s in FY25 as in FY24.

Note the large increase in RF1 multi-year awards.

10/n

After a rollercoaster of a year of delays from NIH disruptions (literally the length of a pregnancy), it is such a relief to have this promotion processed. It’s incredibly exciting to be entering into this new stage of my professional career and my personal life this month.

Appendix has a list of what skills were modeled in each book. A few of our favorites books:
-Sam Wu is Not Afraid Series by Katie Tsang and Kevin Tsang
-King of the Bench: No Fear! by Steve Moore
-Worry Warriors Series by Marne Ventura and Leo Trinidad
-Fuzz the Little Sheep Series by Inger Maier

We found:
-Characters modeled 2.39/8 practices
-Cognitive strategies (60% of books), exposure (46%), and labeling body sensations (42%) were the most frequently modeled
-Perhaps unsurprisingly, books written by mental health professionals modeled more skills.

APCs are particularly brutal for trainees and ECRs whose grants have too small of budgets to accommodate unexpected open access fees (e.g., F‘s, T32s, K’s)

Congrats! This is so exciting!

It is a wild time to be an NIH funded researcher. This grant has been pending since December 2024 (submitted June 2024). I am incredibly grateful for the mentors, colleagues, friends, and family who supported me through this rollercoaster of a year.

I'll be working with a dream team of mentors - A. Rani Elwy, Alex Dopp, Aaron Lyon, Bo Kim, David Mohr, Will Aldridge, and Joshua Kemp.

We hope to learn about how digital mental health organizations, mental health providers, intermediary organizations, and purveyor organizations scale their impact.

he goal is to help organizations balance priorities, including implementing evidence-based interventions, being financially sustainable, and providing equitable access to care. The project will use human-centered design and qualitative/mixed methods.
