The R40 MCH Research Program supports applied research relating to maternal and child health services including services for children with special health care needs, which show promise of substantial contribution to advancement of the current knowledge pool, and when used in States and communities should result in health and health services improvements. Findings from the research supported by the MCH Research Program are expected to have potential for application in health care delivery programs for mothers and children. Research proposals should address critical MCH questions such as public health systems and infrastructure, health disparities, quality of care, and promoting the health of MCH populations, which also support the goals of the Health Resources and Services Administration. The &quot;life course perspective&quot; is currently being integrated into MCHB&#39;s strategic directions, and can serve as a helpful frame of reference for study proposals designed to address the critical MCH questions defined by the Bureau. The Maternal and Child Health Bureau periodically reexamines its applied research agenda. In June 2003, the Bureau initiated the process of updating its research agenda by convening a work group to exchange information regarding the current and emerging issues of importance in the field. Members of the work group represented State and Federal agencies, institutions of higher learning and other organizations, who are prominent in the field and whose work has helped to advance the field. Based on the individual recommendations of these individuals, the Bureau developed the MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix B). The Bureau encourages translational research studies that specifically address issues related to MCHB investments and programs. Addressing one of the four strategic research issues is a review criterion worth up to 10 points in the overall score of an application. Secondary Data Analysis Studies (SDAS) Program Within the R40 MCH Research Program, funding is available in FY 2013 to support approximately ten (10) studies that analyze existing secondary MCH data.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;regulartext&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;
This Funding Opportunity will support research pertinent to improving the measurements of diet and physical activity through the development of better instruments, innovative technologies, and/or applications of advanced statistical/analytic techniques. Research proposed in the applications should be aimed at exploring and optimizing innovative combinations of objective and self-report measures of physical activity or dietary intake in both the general population and its diverse subgroups. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Specifically, this funding opportunity is intended to support innovative research focused on assessments of dietary and physical activity patterns and the settings in which such behaviors occur, not on the determinants of these behaviors or on studies of the causal association between environment and behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rwjf.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robert Wood Johnson Foundation&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s
  Healthy Eating Research: Building Evidence to Prevent Childhood 
Obesity  program  supports research on environmental and policy 
strategies with strong potential to promote healthy eating among 
children to prevent childhood obesity, especially among lower-income and
 racial and ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity. Findings are
 expected to advance RWJF&#39;s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity 
epidemic by 2015.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The primary goal of this CFP is to fund and communicate strategic and
 timely research addressing key evidence needed to advance RWJF&#39;s policy
 priorities — providing advocates, decision-makers, and policy-makers 
with innovative, solution-oriented, policy-relevant environmental and 
policy studies to guide policy action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Proposals are invited for two types of awards:  1) Round 7 grants, 
and 2) RWJF New Connections grants awarded through the Healthy Eating 
Research program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; Round 7 grants represent the majority of RWJF&#39;s investment in 
research through this program. Approximately $1.7 million will be 
awarded  in grants of up to $170,000 for a maximum funding period of 
eighteen months. Concept papers may be submitted at any time until 
August 9, 2012. The deadlines for receipt of invited full proposals are 
May 31, 2012; July 31, 2012; and October 4, 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The New Connections grants are offered in collaboration with RWJF&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rwjf-newconnections.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;New Connections program&lt;/a&gt;,
 which is designed to expand the diversity of perspectives that inform 
RWJF programming and introduce new researchers and scholars to the 
foundation. These grants are to support research by new investigators 
representing populations and communities historically underrepresented 
in childhood obesity prevention research, including researchers from 
underrepresented ethnic or racial minority groups and lower-income 
communities and those who are first-generation college graduates. Up to 
two grants of up to $100,000 will be awarded for projects of twelve to 
eighteen months. Concept papers are due May 22, 2012; invited full 
proposals will be due July 21, 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (TUES) program seeks to improve the quality of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) education for all undergraduate students. This solicitation especially encourages
projects that have the potential to transform undergraduate STEM education, for example, by bringing
about widespread adoption of classroom practices that embody understanding of how students learn
most effectively. Thus transferability and dissemination are critical aspects for projects
developing instructional materials and methods and should be considered throughout the project&#39;s
lifetime. More advanced projects should involve efforts to facilitate adaptation at other
sites.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The program supports efforts to create, adapt, and disseminate new learning materials and
teaching strategies to reflect advances both in STEM disciplines and in what is known about teaching
and learning. It funds projects that develop faculty expertise, implement educational
innovations, assess learning and evaluate innovations, prepare K-12 teachers, or conduct research on
STEM teaching and learning. It also supports projects that further the work of the program itself,
for example, synthesis and dissemination of findings across the program. The program supports
projects representing different stages of development, ranging from small, exploratory
investigations to large, comprehensive projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

High priority is placed on research on populations that appear to have distinctive health risk profiles but have received insufficient attention from investigators. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) highlights a particular community: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and related populations (designated here as LGBTI populations). Basic, social, behavioral, clinical, and services research relevant to the missions of the sponsoring Institutes and Centers may be proposed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;b&gt;Amount&lt;/b&gt;: Varies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;b&gt;Date due&lt;/b&gt;: May 7, 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span  &gt;For more information, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?&amp;amp;mode=VIEW&amp;amp;oppId=145974&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wousphealthpe.blogspot.com/2012/02/research-on-health-of-lgbti-populations.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120792984718368282.post-5320811126168628528</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-11T10:52:33.475-08:00</atom:updated><title>Smart Health &amp; Well-being (NSF)</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); &quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Through the Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB) Program, NSF seeks to address fundamental technical and scientific issues that would support much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues. Effective technology-based solutions must satisfy a multitude of constraints arising from clinical needs, social interactions, cognitive limitations, barriers to behavioral changes, heterogeneity of data, semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyberphysical systems. The high degree of complexity and broad range of the problems require multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers to identify and address barriers limiting quality of life, independence for chronically ill and elder individuals, and other aspects of wellbeing. Fundamental technological advances are also needed to understand the impediments that prevent people from engaging in health-promoting life styles including diet and exercise and from participating in their healthcare decisions.Proposers are invited to submit proposals in two project classes, which are defined as follows:Type I: Exploratory Projects (EXP) - $200,000 to $600,000 total budget with durations from two to three years; andType II: Integrative Projects (INT) - $600,001 to $2,000,000 total budget with durations from four to five yearsA more complete description of the project classes can be found in section II.

Specific targeted areas of research include  biobehavioral studies that incorporate multiple factors that influence  child health disparities such as biological (e.g., genetics, cellular,  organ systems), lifestyle factors, environmental (physical and family  environments), social (e.g., peers), economic, institutional, and  cultural and family influences; studies that target the specific health  promotion needs of children with a known illness and/or disability; and  studies that test and evaluate the comparative effectiveness of health  promotion interventions conducted in traditional and nontraditional  settings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amount&lt;/b&gt;: $500,000/year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Date due&lt;/b&gt;: March 1, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;For more information, &lt;a href=&quot;http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-104.html#_Section_II._Award_1&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wousphealthpe.blogspot.com/2011/01/reducing-health-disparities-among.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (WOU Sponsored Projects)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120792984718368282.post-2463337280739213652</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Jan 2011 19:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-01-07T11:24:41.765-08:00</atom:updated><title>International Science and Education Grants Program</title><description>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The purpose of ISE is to support the internationalization of &lt;b&gt;food&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;agriculture &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;related programs &lt;/b&gt;at U.S. universities and colleges.

This FOA issued by the  National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of  Health, solicits Research Education (R25) applications from  institutions/organizations to promote diversity in undergraduate and  health professional student populations by providing short-term research  education support to stimulate career development in cardiovascular,  pulmonary, and hematologic diseases research.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Amount&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;: $300,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Date due&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;: September 1, 2010 (letter of intent); October 1, 2010 (proposal)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;For more information, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-11-024.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://wousphealthpe.blogspot.com/2010/07/short-term-research-education-program.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (WOU Sponsored Projects)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120792984718368282.post-1497379433573331534</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-01T12:51:21.735-07:00</atom:updated><title>Healthy Living Grants</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt; is now  accepting applications for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Healthy Living  Grants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;.
