Specific Areas of Research Interest

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

NIDDK is interested in research toward improved prevention and management of NIDDK-related diseases and conditions in intersectional communities of people with disabilities. NIDDK mission diseases and conditions include diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic diseases, nutritional disorders, and obesity; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases. NIDDK has many research areas within its mission, but all research related to relevant diseases may not be appropriate for NIDDK. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIDDK staff as soon as possible in the development of the application, so that NIDDK staff can help the applicant understand whether the proposed project is within the goals and mission of the Institute.

Specific areas of interest related to persons living with disabilities (PWD) include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Intersectional factors that improve or impede PWD’s engagement with integrated health care services and impact the effective prevention and management of diseases and conditions within NIDDK’s mission. Factors include structural (e.g., assisted technology, physical environment) and social determinants of health including attitudes and actions (e.g., empowerment models; discrimination such as ablelism, racism, homophobia).
• Multilevel research to address effective screening, referral, and navigation of PWD to medical and social care and other ancillary services to improve outcomes related to NIDDK’s mission diseases and conditions.
• Shared decision-making approaches to improve access to integrated health care services, patient engagement and satisfaction, and health outcomes related to NIDDK’s mission diseases and conditions.
• Community-based interventions to improve PWD access to health care and their health outcomes related to NIDDK diseases and outcomes.
• Integrated care models to improve the implementation of evidence-based interventions to prevent and treat the onset and progression of NIDDK’s mission diseases and outcomes.

NIDDK encourages applications that demonstrate consideration of the Tips for Pursuing Competent Health Equity Research (see Appendix G of Pathways to Health for All). This includes applications with interdisciplinary research teams comprised of individuals with a breadth of lived experiences and biomedical scientific expertise deemed necessary to positively inform the study design, research conduct, and applicability of research findings for the populations of interest. Applicants are also encouraged to review additional populations that experience health disparities that may be considered for research submitted to this PAR (see page 10 of Pathways to Health for All).
