Deadlines: June 16 and September 7.
NIH participating Institutes and Centers invite applications for behavioral and social science research on the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S. population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1) public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to reducing “health gaps” among groups. Applications that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as systems science or community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged. This program will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism.
Applications submitted in response to this announcement must be submitted electronically either through Grants.gov, using the SF424 Research and Related (R&R) forms and SF424 (R&R) Application Guide, or through the NIH Application Submission System & Interface for Submission Tracking (ASSIST). The deadlines for receipt of standard applications under this announcement are: February 16, June 16, and October 16 annually. The deadlines for receipt of AIDS-related applications are: January 7, May 7, andSeptember 7 annually. This program will expire on September 8, 2016.
