To: Members of NBER Aging and Health Care Programs.
NIH has issued two new funding opportunities that may be of
interest. Standard due dates apply; the next ones are February 5
(R01) and 16 (R21), 2012, followed by June. No letter of intent is requested.
Practical Interventions to Improved Medication Adherence in Primary Care (R01)
(PA-12-022)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-022.html
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is being issued by the
NIH Adherence Network through the Office of Behavioral and Social
Sciences Research (OBSSR), .... This FOA seeks Research Project Grant
(R01) applications that propose practical interventions to improve
adherence to medication. This FOA will support research to test
interventions with the potential to significantly improve medication
adherence in patients with chronic health conditions in settings
where primary health care is delivered (including, dental and eye
care settings). Applications may target medication adherence in the
context of treatment for a single illness or chronic condition (e.g.,
hypertension) or multiple comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension and
HIV/AIDS). Studies should use the most rigorous design and
methodology possible given the populations and settings in which the
study is taking place. Primary outcomes of the research should
include: a patient self-report of medication adherence, and at least
one other non-self-report measure of medication adherence (e.g.,
pharmacy refill records, electronic monitoring, etc.). In addition,
applications should include a health outcome or biomarker (e.g.,
blood pressure, viral load in HIV patients, cholesterol levels,
HbA1c) that is expected to be affected by changes in the targeted
adherence behavior. Researchers should address the capacity of the
tested approach for wide dissemination, the sustainability of the
approach once the research is concluded, and are encouraged to
include measurement and costs of the intervention characteristics and
contextual factors that affect implementation and adoption.
Practical Interventions to Improved Medication Adherence in Primary Care (R21)
(PA-12-023)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-023.html
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is being issued by the
NIH Adherence Network through the Office of Behavioral and Social
Sciences Research (OBSSR), .... This FOA encourages
Exploratory/Developmental Research Project Grant (R21) applications
for research and development of novel, practical interventions to
improve adherence to medication. Development of
interventions/approaches with the potential to significantly improve
medication adherence in patients with chronic health conditions in
settings where primary health care is delivered (including, dental
and eye care settings) are encouraged. Applications may target
medication adherence in the context of treatment for a single illness
or chronic condition (e.g., hypertension) or multiple comorbid
conditions (e.g., hypertension and HIV/AIDS). Applicants should
demonstrate the feasibility of collecting multi-modal data on
the targets of the intervention including: a patient self-report of
medication adherence and at least one other non-self-report measure
of medication adherence (e.g., pharmacy refill records, electronic
monitoring, etc.), as well as a health outcome or biomarker (e.g.,
blood pressure, viral load in HIV patients, cholesterol levels, HbA1c
or clinical assessment for conditions in which there is no validated
biomarker) that is expected to be affected by changes in the targeted
adherence behavior.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in this
competition, or in learning more about NIH proopsals and grants
generally. We look forward to working with you.
