• June 9, 2022 - Research Opportunities for New and "At-Risk" Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity (R01 Clinical Trial Optional). See NOFO PAR-22-181

Issued by

National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)

Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to correct NCCIH Specific Areas of Research Interest under Funding Opportunity Description for PAR-22-181 "Research Opportunities for New and "At-Risk" Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)"

The  Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) currently reads:

 Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

Specific Areas of Research Interest: 

NCCIH

NCCIH supports research regarding the use of complementary and integrative health approaches including natural products, mind and body interventions, and multicomponent interventions focused on whole person health. NCCIH is also interested in research studying mind and body approaches to manage stress, mild anxiety, or depression, or pain, and to improve adherence to treatment and prevention regimens to promote health outcomes. Natural products include botanicals, pre/probiotics, and products marketed as dietary supplements. Mind and body approaches include various meditation approaches (e.g., mindfulness), hypnosis or guided imagery, meditative movement approaches (e.g., yoga, tai chi, qi-gong), body-based approaches (e.g., spinal manipulation, massage, mobilization, acupuncture), a combination of these approaches (e.g., meditation and yoga, such as in mindfulness-based stress reduction MBSR), or complex interventions including music and art therapy. Research on whole person health includes multicomponent interventions designed to improve health in multiple interconnected domains: biological (including multiple organs and systems), behavioral, social, and environmental. NCCIH will not accept single-site or multi-site efficacy or effectiveness research through this NOFO (please see NCCIH Clinical Trial Funding Opportunities instead). Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their plans with NCCIH Scientific/Research contact and to consult the NCCIH Strategic Plan to ensure their application addresses NCCIH scientific priorities prior to developing and submitting an application.
