To: Children's and Aging Program Researchers...
NIH has just issued a program announcement for R01 and R21 proposals (due
September 19th) on "Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding
and Reducing Health Disparities." I have included a brief summary and
links to the complete guidelines below. As you may know, grants from NIH
often support substantial research efforts for as many as five years, so
they allow you to request funds for a large-scale project.
If you would like to learn more about what is involved in preparing a
proposal for NIH and how we can help, let me know. Besides answering any
questions about the grant requirements, I can send you samples of
successful past proposals. (Don't worry about the section of the Funding
Announcement that refers to the need to register for electronic
submission. NBER is already registered, and we have completed several
electronic submissions and can guide you through.)
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to
working with you.

Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health
Disparities
* Purpose. To encourage behavioral and social science research on the
causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S.
population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic
populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the
other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health concerns.
Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1)
Public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention.
Particular attention is given to reducing "health gaps" among groups.
Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple
levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ
innovative methods such as system science or community-based participatory
research are particularly encouraged.
