Promoting Caregiver Health Using Self-Management (R01)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NR-16-003.html
Description:
The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate research in promoting caregiver health using self-management. Caregiving is an important science area since the number of people living longer with chronic conditions is growing. Informal caregivers (lay caregivers) are defined as unpaid individuals (spouses, partners, family members, friends, or neighbors) involved in assisting others with activities of daily living and/or medical tasks. Formal caregivers are paid, delivering care in one’s home or care settings (daycare, residential care facility) (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2012). This concept focuses on informal caregivers.

Building Population Health Research Capacity in the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (U24)
Additional information:
http://1.usa.gov/1GOUcwk
Description:
The purpose of this initiative is to build the capacity of organizations in the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands to conduct ongoing population health research in this region. The purpose of this initiative is to: (1) build capacity of organizations in the USAPI to conduct population health research, and (2) support population health research projects that will provide novel data for USAPI populations and serve as the foundation for future research efforts. It is expected that projects will reflect community-identified priorities as well as research gaps in the field. It is expected that projects will include collaborations among diverse partners, such as academic institutions, healthcare providers, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and Federal or local government agencies. If the applicant organization and partners do not have sufficient expertise in a particular area (e.g., research methodology, biostatistics, data management, etc.), it is expected that the applicant will solicit consultants with this relevant expertise. Project activities may leverage existing federally-funded efforts in the USAPI (e.g., programs funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health Resources and Services Administration, or the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to support health surveillance or health services) but should not duplicate or supplant these efforts.

Centers in Self-Management of Symptoms: Building Research Teams for the Future (P20)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NR-16-001.html
Description:
The P20 mechanism is used to support planning for new programs, expansion or modification of existing resources, and feasibility studies to explore various approaches to the development of interdisciplinary programs that offer potential solutions to problems of special significance to the mission of the NIH. This P20 may lead to center sustainability and/or the ability to be funded through other specialized or comprehensive grants. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to build P20 Centers in the self-management of symptoms and build research teams for the future. The purpose of NINR P20 Centers is to plan and build new research teams in interdisciplinary, biobehavioral research for scientists conducting self-management of symptoms. In addition these P20 Centers seek to plan and build new research infrastructures and centralized resources in support of self-management of symptoms research.

Exploratory and Developmental Grant to Improve Health Care Quality through Health Information Technology (IT) (R21)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-001.html
Description:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-001.html
Description:
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to fund exploratory and developmental research grants that will contribute to the evidence base of how health IT improves health care quality. This FOA supports the use of a wide variety of research designs in order to generate information regarding the design and development, implementation, use, or impact of health IT on quality. Depending on the research design and intent of the project, applicants may receive support for: (1) pilot and feasibility or self-contained health IT research projects; (2) secondary data analysis of health IT research; or (3) economic (prospective or retrospective) analyses of a health IT project. Each grant application must clearly state which type of the three types of studies is being proposed.
This FOA is focused on five research areas of interest that are needed to support health care quality and are considered part of a continuous quality improvement process. The five research areas of interest for this FOA are:
1. Design
2. Implementation
3. Use
4. Impact on outcomes
5. Measurement
Each application must clearly state at least one primary research area to be addressed. These five research areas are more fully discussed in Section I below.
Understanding and Promoting Health Literacy (R01)
Additional Information:

Description:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-130.html
Description:
The goal of this program announcement is to encourage methodological, intervention and dissemination research for understanding and promoting health literacy. Health literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions (Ratzan and Parker, 2000).
R40 MCH Secondary Data Analysis Studies (SDAS)
Additional Information:
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=278824
Description:
The R40 MCH SDAS program supports applied research relating to maternal and child health services that exclusively utilizes secondary analysis of existing national databases and/or administrative records. These projects should have the potential to improve health services and delivery of care for maternal and child health populations. Findings from the research supported by the MCH Research Program are expected to strengthen and expand topics addressed by the new MCH Block Grant National Performance Priority Areas, and the populations they serve (see Appendix C). For more background materials on the Block Grant Transformation, see: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/titlevgrants/index.html. The R40 MCH SDAS will support research that addresses MCHB Strategic Research Issues such as how to improve public health systems and infrastructure, reduce health disparities, increase quality of care, and/or promote the health of MCH populations. Addressing at least one of the four MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix A) is part of Review Criterion 1, Need, and is worth up to 10 points. By supporting research on HRSA/MCHB program populations, the R40 MCH SDAS program is strategically tied to HRSA/MCHB investments and programs. R40 MCH SDAS recipients will complete the following major activities: · Recipients will conduct secondary data analyses using existing national databases and administrative records, using various analytic methods; · Recipients will disseminate findings through development of at least two peer-reviewed manuscripts and other dissemination activities including conference presentations, newsletter articles, webcasts, fact sheets, policy briefs, website and social media posts, as appropriate; · Recipients will demonstrate a plan to advance the transfer of findings, reports, and/or award project outputs to key target audiences, including researchers, providers, State Title V and children with special health care needs programs and other programs serving HRSA/MCHB populations, policymakers, families and the general public.
