The Garvey Institute for Brain Health Solutions (GIBHS) is launching a new round of innovation grants focused on projects in one of the following areas:
- Applications of artificial intelligence (e.g., generative AI, machine learning, large language models, etc.) for behavioral health
- Innovations in discharge and community integration after inpatient psychiatric hospitalization
New this year is the introduction of Tier 1 funding up to $25K for projects focused on establishing foundational evidence (e.g., needs assessments, building stakeholder or community capacity). Tier 2 funding of up to $100K will continue to support more mature projects that implement and test a ’proof of concept,’ pilot-test an intervention, or seek to take proven approaches to scale in a new way. GIBHS Innovation Grants are one-year awards intended to catalyze and support innovations that can then help generate additional funding and/or resources.
UW faculty and fellows (if permitted by their school and department and supported by a faculty member) are eligible to apply as Project Leads. Individuals affiliated with organizations outside of the University of Washington may apply with a UW-affiliated researcher as a Project Lead.
The funding announcement, including application instructions and deadlines, will be announced soon through the Garvey Institute newsletter (newsletter sign-up) and on the GIBHS website.
