Early-Career Research Grants (The Obesity Society)
Additional Information:
http://www.obesity.org/about-us/early-career-research-grants.htm
http://www.obesity.org/about-us/early-career-research-grants.htm
Description:
This program (formerly, New Investigator Research Grants) is offered by The Obesity Society (TOS), as a member service, to foster and stimulate new research ideas in any area of investigation related to obesity. The program targets junior-level investigators and post-doctoral trainees by funding proposals that demonstrate a high likelihood of resulting in new and innovative approaches in obesity research.
Early-career investigators are defined as individuals who:
- Have received a PhD within the past five years or MD within the past eight years, and;
- Currently hold full-time, entry-level positions (e.g., post-doctoral fellow, instructor, assistant professor) at an established academic/research institution.
Applicants may request up to $25,000. No indirect cost will be paid from this grant. Applications (Letters of Intent) are due Monday, March 31, 2014, with funding available August 20, 2014. The award may be expended over a period of up to one year.

Reducing Health Care Disparities through Payment and Delivery System Reform
Additional Information:
http://bit.ly/1glEpqJ
Description:
This call for proposals will fund up to three implementations of paired health care payment and delivery system changes that incorporate a focus on reducing disparities in care and/or outcomes.
The goal of this call for proposals is to develop evidence that payment and delivery system reform designs that attempt to manage extrinsic and intrinsic incentives for overall quality and efficiency, while also explicitly attempting to reduce health care disparities, can produce positive results for each goal.
Our hope is that the knowledge gained through these grants will inform the development of new care delivery and payment models, by demonstrating potential ways to build-in a financially-supported focus on equity. The grants will also inform health care organizations and providers with new practices for developing and implementing disparities interventions within the context of new and emerging payment models.

Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Childhood Obesity Prevention
Additional Information:
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=252219
Description:
This Challenge Area Focuses on the societal challenge to end obesity among children, the number one nutrition-related problem in the US. Food is an integral part of the process that leads to obesity and USDA has a unique responsibility for the food system in the United States. This program is designed to achieve the long-term outcome of reducing the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents 2-19 years. The Childhood Obesity Prevention Program supports Multi-function Integrated Research, Education, and/or Extension Projects and Food and Agricultural Science Enhancement (FASE) Grants.

Behavioral Interventions to Address Multiple Chronic Health Conditions in Primary Care (R01)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-114.html
Description:
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks Research Project Grant (R01) applications that propose to use a common conceptual model to develop behavioral interventions to modify health behaviors and improve health outcomes in patients with comorbid chronic diseases and health conditions. Specifically, this FOA will support research in primary care that uses a multi-disease care management approach to behavioral interventions with high potential impact to improve patient-level health outcomes for individuals with three or more chronic health conditions. The proposed approach must modify behaviors using a common approach rather than administering a distinct intervention for each targeted behavior and/or condition. Diseases and health conditions can include, but are not limited to: mental health disorders (e.g., depression), diabetes, smoking, obesity, chronic pain, alcohol and substance abuse and dependence, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, cancer and hypertension.

Technologies for Healthy Independent Living (R01)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-14-118.html
Description:
This FOA encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications for research and development of technologies that monitor health or deliver care in a real-time, accessible, effective, and minimally obtrusive way. These systems are expected to integrate, process, analyze, communicate, and present data so that the individuals are engaged and empowered in their own healthcare with reduced burden to care providers. The development of these technology systems has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, people aging with mild impairments, as well as individuals with chronic conditions.

This FOA encourages Exploratory/ Developmental Research
Project (R21) applications for design and development of novel technologies to
monitor health or deliver care in a real-time, accessible, effective, and
minimally obtrusive way. These may be novel sensor or monitoring systems,
home-use point-of-care devices, home or mobile therapy or rehabilitation tools,
or information systems and should have the goal of fostering healthy and
independent living. The development of such technologies has the potential to
significantly improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, people
aging with mild impairments, as well as individuals with chronic conditions.
