Description:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages investigators to submit research grant applications that will identify, develop, test, evaluate and/or refine strategies to disseminate and implement evidence-based practices (e.g. behavioral interventions; prevention, early detection, diagnostic, treatment and disease management interventions; quality improvement programs) into public health, clinical practice, and community settings. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged.

Qualifications

The following qualify for grant support under the Pilot & Feasibility Program:

·         New faculty members involved in diabetes-related research who have not yet obtained independent funding. Applications from these individuals are most likely to be supported by this mechanism.

·         Established investigators involved in diabetes-related research who propose feasibility studies clearly not related to previously supported research.

·         Established investigators not involved in diabetes-related research who propose feasibility studies related to diabetes.

Applicants must hold a faculty appointment and be independent investigators. Postdoctoral Fellows or their equivalent are not eligible.

There is no specific citizenship requirement.

Previous recipients of Pilot & Feasibility support are eligible, but first priority will be given to those who have not been supported by this program.

Description:

Purpose:

The major objective of this program is to provide research support to test innovative hypotheses involving nutrition and obesity in the prevention, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and therapy of disease. It is hoped that a Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Award will generate enough preliminary data for the investigator to obtain research funding from extramural sources (e.g., R01).
