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).

Obesity Policy Evaluation Research (R01)

Additional Information:

Description:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement  (FOA) encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications that propose to evaluate large scale policy or programs that are expected to influence obesity related behaviors (e.g., dietary intake, physical activity, or sedentary behavior) and/or weight outcomes in an effort to prevent or reduce obesity.  

Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP): Dissemination and Implementation of Child Health Quality Measures Cooperative Research Grants (U18)

Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-16-002.html 

Description: 

The FOA invites cooperative agreement applications to support the dissemination and implementation of a subset of new child health quality measures developed by the Pediatric Quality Measures Program-Centers of Excellence (PQMP-COE) in key pediatric measurement and quality improvement (QI) gap areas through the work of multi-disciplinary partnership teams.  These teams include pediatric measure developers, QI and systems experts, state Medicaid/CHIP programs, health plans, provider-level organizations, and other key stakeholders. 

The partnership teams will have two key goals focused on assessing the feasibility and usability of the new PQMP-COE measures within the Medicaid/CHIP patient populations at the state, health plan, and provider levels to support performance monitoring and QI through: (A) field testing, refinement, data collection, and reporting on new measures; and (B) use of performance data from the measures to define QI goals and test multilevel improvement strategies.

Description:
 

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose to evaluate policies or large scale programs that are expected to influence obesity related behaviors (e.g., dietary intake, physical activity, or sedentary behavior) and/or weight outcomes have the potential to prevent or reduce rates of obesity.

NIH Research Project Grant (Parent R01)

Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-16-160.html

Description:
The NIH Research Project Grant supports a discrete, specified, circumscribed project in areas representing the specific interests and competencies of the investigator(s). The proposed project must be related to the programmatic interests of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) based on their scientific missions.

Population Health Interventions: Integrating Individual and Group Level Evidence (R21)

Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-16-147.html

Description:
To improve health and reduce the burden of disease, scientific research needs to be implemented at the population level in addition to the biological and clinical levels. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support multilevel, transdisciplinary population health interventions that target underlying social, economic, and environmental conditions in an effort to improve health outcomes.
