Purpose

The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) and participating ICOs are issuing this Notice to highlight interest in the systematic development of novel health-related behavioral interventions that leverage new, emerging or understudied areas in basic behavioral and social sciences research (bBSSR). To achieve more potent and sustained strategies to promote health-related behavior change, there is a need for intentional and methodical translation of foundational behavioral and social science discoveries into new or improved interventions. This includes research that focuses on use-inspired bBSSR, understanding of mechanisms of action underlying initial and sustained behavior change, and systematic development and testing of health-related behavioral interventions and their components.

Background:

While there have been many important prevention and treatment advances based on behavioral and social science research, it is not uncommon for even the most robust interventions to work only in a subset of those intervened upon and for changes to be difficult to sustain over time. There is a need for intervention development research that bridges basic and applied behavioral science, in which insights from basic research about the mechanisms and moderators of human behavior are used to develop more effective, efficient, and enduring interventions for health-related behavior change.

Research Objectives:

This Notice encourages translational behavioral intervention research, integrated with basic behavioral and social science, aimed at creating, refining, and testing novel interventions focused on the initiation, cessation, or maintenance of behaviors associated with improved health or disease mitigation.

The behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and/or social targets for the intervention/s being developed and tested in response to this NOSI, should be based on insights from basic science about mechanisms that underlie health-related behavior change. Interventions may target the individual (e.g., cognitive or psychological processes), the immediate social environment (e.g., dyadic or family relationships), and/or broader social, organizational or environmental systems (e.g., worksites, schools, healthcare delivery, or neighborhood features).

Outcomes may include clinical indicators or health-related behaviors measured at the individual level or shifts in behavior or health indicators that are measured at an aggregate/population level.

Applicants are encouraged to employ innovative study designs for building, adapting, and optimizing behavioral interventions. Interdisciplinary project teams are also encouraged.

The use of an intervention development framework and/or approach to inform the research plan is encouraged. Examples include, but are not limited to, the Obesity Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) model for behavioral treatment development (https://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/hbrb/translational-research.html; the NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development (https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/dbsr/stage-model-behavioral-intervention-development) and the Science of Behavior Change’s experimental medicine approach (https://scienceofbehaviorchange.org/what-is-sobc/)..

Intervention creation and refinement require iterative and systematic testing of intervention features and components. Study timelines should include clear research steps, goals and milestones (go/no-go decision points). It is understood that during the intervention development process, timeline deviations may occur based on study results; for example, findings at one step may require a return to an earlier step to further refine an intervention or better understand the mechanism of action. As such, applicants should include a plan for dealing with unexpected results before proceeding to the next step of the intervention development refinement and testing plan.

National Institute on Aging (NIA)

NIA is interested in preliminary (Stage I, II, and III) behavioral intervention development for mid-life and older individuals that capitalizes on and integrates basic research to inform the development of efficacious interventions, in accordance with the NIH Stage Model (please see https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/dbsr/stage-model-behavioral-intervention-development. Interventions may be focused on individuals, dyads, families, communities, organizations, or systems. The purpose of the interventions to be developed may be, for example, to promote health and well-being, including emotional/behavioral well-being, (e.g., in caregivers of individuals with dementia), promote behaviors associated with health and well-being (e.g., exercise), establish and maintain high quality and nurturing close relationships, cope with age-related disorders, cope with stress, decrease pain, improve sleep hygiene, promote independence, help older individuals with declining memory improve their memory, prevent disease or disease progression, and prevent cognitive decline. NIA is also interested in supporting Alzheimer’s disease Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD)-focused research on interventions for care providers and also preliminary behavioral interventions focused at increasing long-term adherence to lifestyle interventions, such as diet and physical activity, that might delay the onset and progression of AD/ADRD. Applicants are also encouraged to consider the ultimate scalability of interventions and may conduct preliminary research to adapt/modify interventions to streamline interventions, optimize the ability to deliver interventions with fidelity and/or improve real-world ease of implementation.

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks to support and catalyze research on the discovery, development, testing, and implementation of effective strategies to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors for cancer prevention and control. Early-phase (basic-to-clinical) behavioral translation studies (e.g., Phase I or Phase II studies, as defined by the ORBIT model for behavioral treatment development (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25642841) are of particular interest, including research that elucidates the causal factors related to cancer risk behaviors, identifies potential targets for intervention, and/or involves the design and optimization of interventions to promote and sustain healthy behaviors related to cancer prevention and control.

Research in response to this Notice can involve any aspect of the cancer control continuum (e.g., prevention, detection/diagnosis, treatment, survivorship). Cancer-related behavioral risk factors of interest to NCI include tobacco use; diet; energy balance and obesity; physical activity and sedentary behavior; sun safety/UV-protective behaviors and tanning; alcohol use; sleep and circadian function; adherence to cancer-related medical and behavioral regimens; cancer screening; vaccinations to prevent cervical cancer (HPV vaccination); and avoidance of environmental carcinogens (e.g., radon).

The following are of special interest:

NIAMS FOA’s for this NOSI include the following or their subsequent reissued equivalents:

National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH):

NIMH supports the efficient pilot testing of novel psychosocial therapeutic and preventive interventions for mental disorders in adults and children, as well as pilot testing of interventions to advance HIV prevention and treatment. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with NIMH staff when developing plans for an application. NIMH uses a set of institute-specific FOAs to support development and testing of interventions. These FOAs require a mechanism-based, experimental therapeutics approach, whereby empirically-supported proximal intervention targets are specified, and the study is explicitly designed to examine whether the intervention leads to changes in the hypothesized targets, and whether these intervention-induced changes in the targets lead to changes in the clinical outcome(s) of interest. A target may be a disease mechanism, a factor related to a disease mechanism, or a factor that confers significant risk. Targets can range from molecular processes, to synaptic- and circuit-level regions or networks, to neural systems and cognitive or emotional processes, to provider behavior, decision-making or organizational policies or behaviors. Appropriate targets will depend on the intervention modality and the conceptual framework underlying hypotheses about its mechanism of action. For early-stage development of novel interventions consistent with this NOSI, NIMH uses a selected set of RFAs (noted below) to support the development of psychosocial (e.g., psychotherapeutic, behavioral) interventions for prevention and treatment of mental disorders among youth, adults, and older adults, where the goal is translation of basic findings from behavioral/social science into novel intervention targets and/or strategies. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult the NIMH resources and staff contacts listed on the NIMH support for clinical trials research webpage early in the application development process to best match current NIMH priorities and relevant clinical trials FOAs.

National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH):

NCCIH is committed to the rigorous investigation of promising mind and body behavioral interventions. These mind and body approaches are widely used by the public, and they are increasingly recognized to provide a non-pharmacological approach to symptom management (e.g., chronic pain, mild depression, anxiety, etc.). These approaches can be utilized by individuals to help prevent, treat, or self-manage various conditions (e.g., chronic pain, headache, anxiety, promote wellness), as well as being complementary to treatment offered by conventional health care. Mind and body interventions include various mind-based approaches (e.g., mindfulness, hypnosis, guided imagery), body-based approaches (e.g., spinal manipulation, massage, mobilization, acupuncture), meditative movement approaches (e.g., yoga, tai chi, qi-gong), music and art therapy approaches, or a combination of these approaches (e.g., meditation and yoga, or mindfulness-based stress reduction MBSR).

NCCIH is interested in research to develop and test mind and body behavioral interventions for the following high priority topic areas: symptom management - particularly for chronic pain syndromes; reduction of prescription drug (opioid) use or abuse in patients with chronic pain; enhancement of medication adherence; treatment or prevention of post-traumatic stress (disorder), traumatic brain injury, sleep disorders or disturbances, anxiety, depression, obesity, and smoking; promotion of psychological resilience or wellbeing; and promotion of healthy eating and physical activity.
