CDC Public Health Research: Health Protection Research Initiative, Mentored Research Scientist Development Award: The purpose of the program is to support the development of a qualified and experienced cadre of independent public health researchers to address priority health protection issues. Health protection should be interpreted to include activities that: 1) promote health/ or prevent disease, injury, or disability, or 2) protect people from health threats including infectious, environmental, and terrorist threats. Translating research findings into effective solutions people or organizations can utilize will require investigators to address one or more of the following focus areas: 1. Identification of new social, environmental, genomic, and developmental determinants of health amenable to intervention. 2. Identification of cost-effective interventions that improve the health of individuals, families, or communities. 3. Identification of the determinants of successful implementation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions among individuals, families, communities, or the sectors serving them. 4. Identification of the determinants of successful translation of evidence-based interventions to special populations to reduce health disparities. 5. Applications of genetic information to improve health. 6. Evaluation of the impact of policy alternatives on the health of individuals, families, or communities. 7. Determinants of the economic drivers of health and health decisions for individuals, families, communities, or the sectors serving them. 8. Identification and evaluation of public health informatics and communication strategies and tools to improve health decisions, health alerting, health literacy, or health assessment. 10. Identification of strategies to improve the prevention and early detection of public health threats.
