Exploratory/Developmental Clinical Research Grants in Obesity (R21): The goal of this initiative is to encourage exploratory/developmental clinical studies that will accelerate the development of effective interventions for prevention or treatment of overweight or obesity in either adults or children. Exploratory epidemiological research with a goal of informing translational/clinical research will also be supported within this program. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21). Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
