NCCIH Specific Information:
NCCIH will support innovative research on complementary and integrative health
approaches, including natural products or mind and body interventions.
Complementary health approaches include a broad range of practices and
interventions that are not typically part of conventional medical care. They can be classified by
their primary therapeutic input, including nutritional (e.g., special diets, dietary supplements,
herbs, probiotics, and microbial-based therapies), psychological (e.g., meditation, hypnosis,
music-based interventions, relaxation therapies), physical (e.g., acupuncture, massage, chiropractic
manipulation, other force-based manipulations, or devices related to these approaches), or a
combination of psychological and physical (e.g., yoga, tai chi, dance therapies, some forms of art
therapy such as music-based interventions).
Prospective applicants are encouraged to read the NCCIH Strategic
Plan for a listing of research priorities as well as to reach out to the listed scientific
contact prior to preparing an application.
Please note that NCCIH does not participate in the Katz Award Notice of Opportunity
Announcement (NOFO) that allows Basic Experimental Studies with Humans (BESH). NCCIH will only
consider KATZ Award applications appropriately submitted under the KATZ Award (Clinical Trials Not
Allowed) NOFO.

NIBIB specific information:
NIBIB interests include the development and
integration of advanced engineering, imaging, and computational technologies with life sciences for
the improvement of human health and medical care. An application is not within the NIBIB mission if
its principal focus is development of technologies whose goal is to understand basic biological
function or mechanisms. Additionally, NIBIB only supports projects whose technology would ultimately
be applicable to a broad spectrum of disorders and diseases rather than being limited to only a
single tissue, organ, or physiological condition. To determine if your research fits within the
NIBIB mission, please contact the appropriate Program Director in your scientific program area of
interest (Research
Funding).

NIEHS Specific Information:
The mission of the NIEHS is to discover how the
environment affects people in order to promote healthier lives. The NIEHS 2018-2023 Strategic
plan, Advancing
Environmental Health Science: Improving Health, lays out a set of strategic themes and goals
that have been identified as priority areas. A variety of scientific disciplines, including basic,
mechanistic, epidemiological, computational, and/or health risk communication approaches, can be
used to advance the NIEHS Strategic Plan. NIEHS is interested in projects that have a research focus
on exposure-health related responses from environmental agents within our mission. These
include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air
pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal, and bacterial or
biologically derived toxins. Secondary smoke exposure as a component of the indoor environment is
also within the NIEHS mission. Exposures that are considered outside of the NIEHS mission (e.g.,
nutrition, psychosocial factors, primary smoking, infectious agents, pharmaceuticals) can be
included as secondary factors and possible modifiers of the effects of an NIEHS mission-relevant
primary exposure(s). Applicants are encouraged to contact NIEHS program staff prior to
submission to determine if their project is within our mission area and interests.

NLM Specific Information:
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) supports
innovative research and development in biomedical informatics and data science. The scope of NLM's
interest in these research domains is broad, with emphasis on new methods and approaches to foster
data driven discovery in the biomedical and clinical health sciences as well as domain-independent,
reusable approaches to discovery, curation, analysis, organization and management of health-related
digital objects. Biomedical informatics and data science draw upon many fields, including
mathematics, statistics, information science, computer science and engineering, and
social/behavioral sciences. Application domains include health care delivery, basic biomedical
research, clinical and translational research, precision medicine, public health, bio surveillance,
intelligent systems for decision support, assuring integrity and security of personal health data,
and similar areas. NLM defines biomedical informatics as the science of optimal representation,
organization, management, integration and presentation of information relevant to human health and
biology. NIH defines data science as the interdisciplinary field of inquiry in which quantitative
and analytical approaches, processes, and systems are developed and used to extract knowledge and
insights from increasingly large and/or complex sets of
data.
