Two New Funding Opportunities: Multi-Sectoral Preventive Interventions Research Network to Address Social Determinants of Health in Populations that Experience Health Disparities.The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) and participating Institutes, Centers, and Offices are seeking applications for a new collaborative research network to test multi-sectoral preventive interventions for health conditions in populations that experience health disparities.
PAR-24-053:The research network funding opportunity encourages UG3/UH3 research project applications that intervene beyond the individual level and collaborate with two or more service sectors (e.g., health, housing, transportation, education).
RFA-OD-24-006: The research network will also include a coordinating center that will provide technical assistance related to intervention methodology and facilitate collaboration across projects. The coordinating center funding opportunity encourages U24 applications that propose activities in administration, methodology, and community engagement.

In case you missed it... Did you miss the December 14-15, 2023 workshop, "Music as Medicine: The Science and Clinical Practice?" If so, videos from both days are available for viewing. The workshop aimed to highlight accomplishments from the last 6 years in advancing scientific research on music and health, develop a blueprint for the next phase of research, and further build the research community. The workshop was co-chaired by Dr. Francis Collins, former NIH director, and Ms. Rene Fleming, the renowned soprano and arts and health advocate, both of whom delivered keynote speeches. |
