Career Development in Implementation Research in Prevention, Outcomes, and Quality of Care

The Request for Applications (RFA) helps investigators develop capabilities and projects that lead to sustainable applications of research in primary and secondary prevention, outcomes, and improved quality of care in cardiovascular disease and stroke. Areas that would be considered within the scope of this initiative are research to improve primary and secondary prevention including reducing barriers, applications in primary care, prevention in patients with known coronary heart disease and stroke, and community interventions. Proposals that involve accessing existing data as those data lead to implementation applications, studies of health disparities, and studies of minorities, women, older adults, and the young are encouraged.

Pre-proposals are encouraged and are due December 9, 2005 at 5 p.m. The deadline for general applications is February 15, 2006 at 5 p.m.

Study of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Associated with Chronic Disease

The purpose of this initiative is to invite applications for research projects that will expand our knowledge of basic decision-making processes underlying initiation and long-term maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviors that may reduce one's risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and addiction. The NCI, NIDA, and NIAAA encourage collaborations between basic judgment and decision-making researchers, and applied cancer control or addiction researchers that will elucidate the basic cognitive and affective processes involved in decisions that are made repeatedly over time, such as adhering to weight-loss programs or smoking cessation programs.

Application materials and instructions are available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format. See application receipt dates at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm.
