Limited Submission Funding Opportunity: NIMHD Centers for Multiple Chronic Diseases Associated with Health Disparities: Prevention, Treatment, and Management (P50 Clinical Trial Required)
URL: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-MD-21-007.html
OBJECTIVES:
As the Nation’s steward of biomedical and behavioral research, NIH has devoted considerable resources to characterize the root causes of health disparities, uncovering complex webs of interconnected factors (e.g., behavioral, biological, social, environmental, system and policy factors) acting at multiple levels across the life course. Despite this investment, insufficient progress has been made in reducing disparities in the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of chronic diseases. Tackling the complex drivers of health disparities requires a transdisciplinary framework that cuts across scientific and organizational silos to integrate multiple disciplines – behavioral and social sciences, epidemiology, data science, implementation science, public health, health services, economics, environmental science, public policy, biological sciences, and community-engaged methods. It also requires strong collaborations between researchers, community organizations, clinicians and healthcare systems, public health agencies, policymakers and other stakeholders to ensure that relevant, contextually appropriate research is conducted and, importantly, that findings can be translated into sustainable community and system-level changes that promote health equity after the research projects have ended. In addition, research conducted at the regional level provides the opportunity to develop local coalitions of relevant stakeholders to address place-based determinants of health that may be specific to a region.
