 Part 2. Full Text of Announcement

Section I. Notice of Funding Opportunity Description

Areas of Interest of Participating Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs)

This section was modified to add:

National Institute on Aging (NIA)

NIA supports mechanism-based intervention research to prevent, reduce, or eliminate health disparities and inequities over the life course, especially among older adults and people living with Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (AD/ADRD), as well as their caregivers/care partners. Applicants are encouraged to consider the priorities outlined in NIA’s strategic directions for health disparities research and in the AD+ADRD Research Implementation Milestones related to health disparities, and those reflected within NIA’s Health Disparities framework.

Similarly, NIA encourages applicants to draw upon the NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development, which offers a framework to: (1) support development and testing of effective interventions that are defined by their principles and (2) ensure that efficacious interventions can be administered in the community or in health systems with fidelity to the intervention’s principles. This includes the development, testing, and validation of scalable training materials and procedures so that these interventions can be delivered with fidelity in community settings or health systems. In keeping with the Stage Model, applications should propose contemporary analytic techniques to evaluate mechanisms by which the focal intervention impacts health and health disparities.
