http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-08-013.html This FOA solicits cooperative agreement (U01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to translate findings from basic research on human behavior into more effective clinical, community, and population interventions to reduce obesity and improve obesity-related behaviors. This FOA will support Centers for Behavioral Intervention Development (CBIDs) in which interdisciplinary teams of basic and applied behavioral and social science researchers develop and refine novel interventions based on basic research findings to reduce obesity and alter obesity-related health behaviors (e.g., diet, physical activity).
Applicants to this RFA are strongly encouraged to speak with NIH program staff before submitting their application. Please read the announcement in full before contacting program staff (these persons are listed in Section VII as Scientific/Research Contacts).
We are also exploring the possibility of a web-based Technical Assistance Meeting to aid applicants with the application process. Please stay tuned for information concerning participation in this meeting.
Please share this announcement widely with your colleagues. Susan M.
