Time-Sensitive Evaluation of Policies Affecting Health Behaviors and Chronic Disease Risk (R01-Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) establishes an accelerated review/award process to support time-sensitive research to evaluate a new policy or program that is likely to influence diet, physical activity, sleep, and/or weight and thus has the potential to lower rates of chronic diseases, particularly in populations at risk for health disparities. This NOFO is intended to support research where opportunities for empirical study are, by their very nature, only available through expedited review and funding. All applications submitted to this NOFO must demonstrate that the evaluation of the policy or program of interest offers an uncommon and scientifically-compelling research opportunity that will only be available if the research is initiated with minimum delay. For these reasons, applications submitted to this time-sensitive NOFO are not eligible for re-submission. It is intended that eligible applications selected for funding will be awarded within 4 months of the application due date; however, administrative requirements and other unforeseen circumstances may delay issuance dates beyond that timeline.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP).
