Description:
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is committed to seeking value from all levels of investment in health care, public health, and population health. Through this call for proposals the Foundation intends to pursue several objectives: (1) to identify promising innovations to improve health being implemented in low-resource communities, (2) to evaluate whether the innovations improve health care quality and health without increasing costs; and (3) to disseminate these innovations as examples for other communities to implement. The evaluation of innovations from low-resource communities is the primary objective of this call for proposals.

Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration 2.0 Department of Health and Human Services, CDC
Additional Information:
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=280155
Description:
The purpose of this FOA is to test a model of quality clinical care addressing childhood obesity for U.S. low-income children, especially those enrolled in or eligible for health care coverage under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or Medicaid. Specifically, the purpose of this FOA is to implement and test the ability of a model of clinical childhood obesity management along with a EHR-referral-based, family-centered pediatric weight management program, to reduce body mass index (BMI) in children with obesity, or overweight with risks (including, e.g., medical and behavioral risks, and family history). Health outcomes of interest include measurable changes in BMI, nutrition and physical activity behaviors, health care satisfaction and service delivery, and quality of life. This will be accomplished through optimized pediatric care:1) Implementation and evaluation of a EHR-referral-based, structured, intensive family-centered weight management program in the clinic or community;2. Collaboration with state CHIP offices to advise a state-wide or regional level project and to be part of a stakeholder group that can help generate suitable recommendations for sustainability and program components to be further replicated or scaled.

Community Action Grants Notah Begay III Foundation
Additional Information:
http://www.nb3foundation.org/grant-seekers/community-action-grants/
Description:
How do we create a culture of health for our children? How do we ensure that everyone - from families to schools to workplaces to government are ALL part of supporting and sustaining the health and wellness of the community? We know that addressing childhood obesity will require more than individual diet and physical activity changes. It will require a community-based collaborative approach to make meaningful change. We also know Native American communities have the inherent knowledge, assets and values to address this health issue within their communities. Community Action Grants support Native American communities in addressing the systemic barriers to good health for our children by providing resources and technical assistance. - See more at: http://www.nb3foundation.org/grant-seekers/community-action-grants/#sthash.8UUZwCMi.dpuf

Personalized Strategies to Manage Symptoms of Chronic Illness (R21)
Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-16-008.html
Description:
The purpose of this initiative is to encourage interdisciplinary research to decrease symptom burden and enhance health-related quality of life (HRQL) in persons with chronic illness through a) increasing knowledge of the biological mechanisms of symptoms and b) promoting innovative, cost-effective, targeted interventions to prevent, manage or ameliorate these symptoms.

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.
