Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation

Applications are invited for investigator-initiated projects that demonstrate the benefits of new healthcare delivery methods or prevention approaches. KTGF is most interested in improving access to mental health care for children through the use of novel models or approaches, including but not limited to expanding the number of professional and paraprofessional treatment personnel who are trained to deliver mental health services, delivering care in non-psychiatric settings, digital technology and approaches that help parents access care for their children. KTGF is particularly interested in funding applications that build on promising pilot work that aims to develop larger demonstration projects.

Eligible applicants should be academic researchers from universities or research institutions that provide mental and behavioral health programs for children and adolescents. Investigators can be at any stage in their career but must have collected enough pilot data to inform the development of the proposed research project and must be well enough established to lead an effort such as this. For investigators who are relatively early in their career, the foundation recommends partnering with a more senior academic researcher who has expertise in program development and dissemination.
