Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to update the list of NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) participating in PAR-25-117 “Research With Activities Related to Diversity (ReWARD) (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)." As of November 14, 2024, the following ICOs are not participating in this NOFO: NCCIH, NINR, and NLM. The NOFO is updated accordingly.

Section I. Notice of Funding Opportunity Description

Specific Areas of Research Interest

The following text is deleted from the NOFO: 

NCCIH will support research that is well aligned with the NCCIH Strategic Plan. Research areas funded by the institute broadly fall into three therapeutic areas, including nutritional, psychological, and physical approaches. These may include the array of chemical space occupied by natural products derived from plants, fungi, bacteria, marine organisms, or animals; as well as mind and body approaches such as yoga, massage therapy, meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction, spinal/joint manipulation, acupuncture, and music-based interventions. NCCIH is interested in research that takes a transdisciplinary approach that integrates natural, social, and health sciences and transcends traditional boundaries to investigate the multifactorial process of whole person health restoration. Applications proposing a clinical trial must follow the Consolidated Notice on NCCIH Clinical Trials Policies as only mechanistic clinical trials will be accepted by NCCIH through this NOFO.

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with the NCCIH Scientific Research staff listed below prior to developing and submitting an application.

NINR supports research aligned with our mission and strategic priorities, conducted by scientists from any discipline. NINR discovers solutions to health challenges through the lenses of health equity, social determinants of health, population and community health, prevention and health promotion, and systems and models of care. Drawing on the strengths of nursing’s holistic, contextualized perspective, core values, and broad reach, NINR funds multilevel and cross-sectoral research that examines the factors that impact health across the many settings in which nurses practice, including homes, schools, workplaces, clinics, justice settings, and the community. Observational, intervention, and implementation research are of interest.

NLM supports research that incorporates innovative biomedical informatics and data science approaches that harness the digital healthcare ecosystem and has the potential to reduce health disparities while improving access to care, continuity of care, and/or health outcomes. Further, NLM is interested in research that leverages health data and develops novel approaches (e.g., clinical decision support systems; machine learning/artificial intelligence) that account for systematic biases and blind spots in health data and the development of tools and approaches that may be tailored for diverse populations.

All other aspects of this NOFO remain the same.
