In addition to updates for Biosketches, Other Support, and the new Forms G, NIH is updating their Grants Policy Statement.

The National Institutes of Health Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS) is intended to make available to NIH recipients, in a single document, the policy requirements that serve as the terms and conditions of NIH grant awards. These terms and conditions apply not only to the prime recipients, but also flow down to any subawards as well as to subrecipients unless specified otherwise in the regulation or the terms and conditions of the specific NIH award (see "Consortium Agreements" on page IIB-112). This document also is designed to be useful to those interested in NIH grants by providing information about NIH—its organization, its staff, and its grants process.

The NIHGPS is available online at https://grants.nih.gov/policy/nihgps/index.htm

Research is complicated; media messages are short. But projecting population health science knowledge and innovation into the public domain is essential to changing the way we think about health. The print and broadcast media play a critical role – how can scientists work with journalists and others to share accurate, timely, and actionable information outside the walls of academia?

The Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science has assembled an expert panel to discuss the keys to success when communicating with journalists or being interviewed about research. Panelists include Katherine Reed, Director of Education & Content at the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ), Tara Haelle, an independent journalist also affiliated with AHCJ, Jamila Michener of Cornell University, and Thom Blaylock of the Wagner School at New York University. This virtual session is free to all.

Description: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to establish a Harm Reduction Network consisting of several research projects and a single Coordination Center. The goal of this network is to increase our understanding of the effectiveness, implementation, and impact of existing and new harm reduction practices to address the ongoing opioid crisis and substance use disorder more broadly. This FOA seeks applications focused on: (1) developing and testing new harm reduction strategies; (2) examining how to effectively implement new and existing harm reduction strategies; (3) expanding the settings and delivery models through which harm reduction strategies are deployed; and (4) examining the impact of new harm reduction policies implemented at state and local levels. 

Activity Code: R01

Announcement Number: RFA-DA-22-046

Closing Date: March 10, 2022

Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support pilot and preliminary research to prepare for rigorous clinical efficacy or effectiveness trials of recovery support services for individuals who take or have taken medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUDs). Relevant trials may test a wide range of services where rigorous evidence of efficacy and effectiveness is needed including peer-based recovery support, recovery community centers, active recovery communities, recovery residences, education-based recovery support services, continuing care models, recovery support services to meet the needs of specific minority health populations, recovery support services to meet the needs of specific health disparities populations, combinations of these recovery support services, or others proposed by applicants. This FOA provides resources for assessing the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of these services in addition to usual trial preparation activities. Activities should also advance the goal of generating a strong evidence base to support the ultimate acceptability by service recipients and providers; the feasibility, scalability, and sustainability of services delivered; and equity in service delivery of services found to be efficacious or effective. Funded projects will be part of the NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL)SM Initiative to speed the development and implementation of scientific solutions to the national opioid public health crisis. The NIH HEAL Initiative will bolster research across NIH to (1) improve treatment and prevention of opioid misuse and opioid use disorder and (2) enhance pain management.

Activity Code: R34

Announcement Number: RFA-DA-22-034

Closing Date: March 10, 2022

Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support applications providing infrastructure support to advance the development of efficacy and/or effectiveness research on recovery support services for those who take or have taken medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUDs). The infrastructure support will facilitate multi-stakeholder (including researchers and students, payors, providers, persons in recovery) research networks through activities such as meetings, conferences, small-scale pilots, data development work, short-term educational opportunities (such as intensive workshops, summer institutes, or visiting scholar programs), dissemination to encourage growth and development of specified priority areas, and building research resources. Network applications are to support research related to the following priority recovery support services including active recovery communities, recovery residences, education-based recovery support services, continuing care models, recovery support services to meet the needs of specific minority health populations, recovery support services to meet the needs of specific health disparities populations, recovery support services provided in regions of the United States not covered by existing NIDA-funded Recovery Research Network projects, or others proposed by applicants.

Background: The need to diversify Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRD) research cohorts and improve methods and tools for conducting health disparities research related to AD/ADRD has been emphasized by the National Alzheimer’s Project Act; the Alzheimer’s Research Summits (2012, 2015, and 2021); the National Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and their Caregivers (2017 and 2020); and the Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementia Summits (2013, 2016, and 2019). To achieve such diversity, projects are needed that will increase enrollment of underrepresented populations, expand the use of existing cohorts, and create robust estimates of AD/ADRD in diverse populations. Improvements are also needed in research tools, research methods, and design and recruitment practices. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is committed to diverse representation in all research studies, including clinical trials.

Purpose: To improve health care in rural areas by improving the quality and financial viability of health care providers in rural communities through technical assistance to beneficiaries of Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) initiatives.

Funding Amount/Project Period: Up to $1,100,000 per year for 5 years

Description: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and advance understanding of approaches to prevent community violence and eliminate racial and ethnic inequities in risk for community violence. This initiative is intended to support effectiveness research to evaluate innovative programs, practices, or policies among groups experiencing a high burden of community violence. Innovative approaches are those that have not been rigorously evaluated for effectiveness in reducing community violence. Funds are available to conduct studies focused on preventing all forms of community violence involving youth or young adults (ages 10-34 years), including assaults, homicides, violence between groups, and threats/use of weapons. The primary objectives we wish to achieve with this initiative are:

• Objective One: Effectiveness research to evaluate innovative approaches with the potential for immediate or near immediate benefits (i.e., within 6 months) for reducing community violence and racial/ethnic inequities in risk for community violence.
• Objective Two: Effectiveness research to evaluate place-based prevention approaches for reducing community violence and racial/ethnic inequities in risk for community violence.
• Objective Three: Effectiveness research to evaluate approaches that improve the social or structural conditions that contribute to community violence and racial/ethnic inequities in risk for community violence.
