Biobehavioral Methods to Improve Outcomes Research: - This initiative is designed to foster biobehavioral research and develop innovative research designs, methods of measurement, and data analysis techniques. Designs and methods that examine the impact of biologic and behavioral variables on individuals' health outcomes and quality of life are encouraged. Scientists are encouraged to increase the interface of biobehavioral research and clinical practice in existing core and exploratory centers and training programs by sharing findings and designing collaborative research projects. Ideally, interdisciplinary researchers should overcome differences in perspectives, incentives, and methods by going beyond usual collaborations to engage others to solve problems creatively and efficiently. - This funding opportunity will use the R01 and R21 award mechanisms. 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 mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. - Applications may be submitted by any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. - Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct. - Eligible domestic and foreign institutions/organizations include for-profit or non-profit, public or private, and faith-based or community-based organizations, units of State Tribal government, units of Local Tribal government, units of State and Local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government. - Application materials are available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html. - Telecommunications services for the hearing-impaired are available at: TTY 301-451-0088.
