NIH has just issued a program announcement for R01, R21 or R03 proposals on
"Methodology and Measurement in the Behavioral and Social Sciences" to
encourage research that will improve the quality and scientific power of
data collected in the behavioral and social sciences, relevant to the
missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers.
I have included a brief summary of the program at the bottom of this
message. The full text of the RFA is available at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-212.html.
If you would like to learn more about preparing a proposal for NIH and how
we can help, let me know.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in this competition,
or in learning more about NIH propsals and grants generally. I look
forward to working with you.

The behavioral and social sciences offer significant, fundamental insights
into the comprehensive understanding of human health, including disease
etiology and treatment, and the promotion of health and well-being. To
encourage the investigation of the impact of social and behavioral factors
on health and disease, the participating Institutes and Centers (ICs)
invite qualified researchers to submit research grant applications on
methodology and measurement in the behavioral and social sciences.
Methodology and measurement encompass research design, data collection
techniques, measurement, and data analysis techniques. The goal of this
program announcement is to encourage research that will improve the quality
and scientific power of data collected in the behavioral and social
sciences, using humans or animals, relevant to the missions of the NIH ICs.
Research that addresses methodology and measurement issues in diverse
populations, issues in studying sensitive behaviors, issues of ethics in
research, issues related to confidential data and the protection of
research subjects, and issues in developing interdisciplinary, multimethod,
and multilevel approaches to behavioral and social science research is
particularly encouraged, as are approaches that integrate behavioral and
social science research with biomedical, physical, or computational science
research or engineering. Because the focus of this program announcement is
developing methodology, rather than addressing a single, health-related
research question, applicants are encouraged to propose approaches that
would be broadly applicable to basic or applied behavioral and social
sciences research related to health. Applicants are strongly encouraged to
contact the Program Contact for Scientific/Research issues (see Section
VII., Agency Contacts) of the IC that most closely matches their research
focus to determine the IC's interest in the research topic.
