The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (KTGF) aims to enhance understanding and treatment of depression and ADHD in children through scientific research, improve psychiatric educational programs, and ensure children and adolescents, particularly from low-income or under-resourced communities, have access to high-quality mental health care.
The grant program from Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation targets academic researchers aiming to innovate in the mental health care and prevention field, specifically for children and adolescents. It encourages projects that showcase novel access or delivery methods for mental health services that can be broadly implemented. The focus is on high-quality research that expands upon initial promising work towards a significant demonstration project. Projects should improve access to mental health care through new models or promising approaches, train more professionals in mental health services, utilize non-psychiatric settings for care, incorporate digital technology, or facilitate parent access to care for their children. Desired outcomes include better access to care, quicker service delivery, stakeholder involvement, and improved clinical or functional outcomes for the affected individuals.
