NIH's Office of Behavioral and Social Science Researched has again
issued a request for R01 and R21 applications on "Advancing
Interventions to Improve Medication Adherence." The proposals are due
on the standard dates (with the earliest submissions accepted on January
16, 2015 for R21s and February 5, 2015 for R01s ). No letter of intent
is requested.
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is being issued by the NIH
Adherence Network through the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences
Research (OBSSR), with participation from multiple NIH Institutes and
Centers. This FOA seeks applications that propose interventions to
significantly improve medication adherence in individuals. Applications
may target medication adherence in the context of treatment for a single
illness or chronic condition (e.g., hypertension), to stave off a
disease recurrence (e.g., cancer) or for multiple comorbid conditions
(e.g., hypertension, diabetes, alcohol use disorders and HIV/AIDS). A
well-articulated theoretical or conceptual framework is key for
applications encouraged under this announcement. Primary outcomes of the
research can include a patient self-report of medication adherence, but
must also at least one non-self-report measure of medication adherence
(e.g., pharmacy refill records, electronic monitoring, etc.). In
addition, applications are encouraged to include a relevant health
outcome or biomarker (e.g., blood pressure, viral load in HIV-infected
individuals, cholesterol levels, HbA1c) that is expected to be affected
by changes in the targeted adherence behavior. For diseases without
identified biomarkers, inclusion of a clinical assessment (e.g., a
medicine blood level, diagnostic interview or an independent clinician
rating of the symptoms and behaviors) may be considered. - See more at:
