The purpose of this notice is to inform applicants of NINDS' IC-specific information for PAR-22-106 Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). Language has been added to show NINDS' IC-specific information for this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). The following language has been added to PAR-22-106:
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is interested in mission relevant applications. The NINDS supports dissemination and implementation research focused on identifying, monitoring, scaling-up, and/or testing strategies for overcoming environmental, social, community, structural, and healthcare system factors that lead to or are associated with disparities (or inequities) in neurological diseases and care across the lifespan. Some priority disease areas include stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases, Alzheimers disease-related dementias (including frontotemporal neurodegeneration, Lewy body dementias, vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia and mixed etiology dementia), epilepsy, migraine, nervous system infections, spinal cord injury, headache, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders, brain trauma, neurodevelopmental disorders, and the neurological consequences of HIV/AIDS. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate community engagement strategies into their study designs. Applicants are also encouraged to incorporate a plan to enhance diverse perspectives (https://braininitiative.nih.gov/about/plan-enhancing-diverse-perspectives-pedp) and community engagement strategies into their study designs when appropriate.
A letter of intent and communication with NINDS program staff prior to submission of an application is strongly encouraged.
Changes to the NOFO are shown below.

Information relevant to Specific Institutes/Centers
Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH)
The Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH) is part of the Office of the Director of NIH and works in partnership with the 27 NIH Institutes and Centers to ensure that women's health research is part of the scientific framework at the NIH, and throughout the scientific community. In general, ORWH is interested in research that considers the influence of sex and gender on health and disease, and the total health of women across the full spectrum of research. ORWH encourages interdisciplinary approaches and would be interested in partnering to support research that examines ways to integrate evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into practice settings to improve the health of women, especially research on the consequences of pregnancy for the health of a woman across her life course. The Trans-NIH Strategic Plan for the Health of Women covering FY 2019 - 2023 is available on the ORWH website (https://www.nih.gov/women/strategic plan) for additional guidance.
See Section VIII. Other Information for award authorities and regulations.
