Promoting Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care: States

Integrated Physical and Behavioral Health Care

This program funds research and implementation projects that advance integrated care delivery—combining physical and behavioral health services in clinical settings. The funder seeks to break down silos between mental health, substance use disorder treatment, and primary care by supporting models that deliver bidirectional, coordinated screening, assessment, and treatment for co-occurring conditions. Projects should demonstrate how integration improves overall wellness, physical health outcomes, and access to evidence-based or evidence-informed services for mental health, substance use disorders, and chronic diseases in real-world practice settings.

The program emphasizes implementation science and practice improvement: moving beyond efficacy studies to test how integrated care models work when deployed across diverse clinical environments and populations. Research spanning health services, clinical informatics, behavioral health, and primary care is relevant.
