The NIH Common Fund is offering the Science of Behavior Change Research Grant (R21) to support projects advancing a mechanisms-focused, experimental medicine approach to behavior change research. This grant aims to utilize the SOBC Measures Repository assays to engage selected targets in self-regulation, stress reactivity, and interpersonal processes domains. The focus is on testing the impact of engaging these targets on producing short-term changes in health behaviors, including medical regimen adherence. Applications for exploratory and developmental research projects are encouraged to contribute to optimizing adherence, behavior change interventions, and outcomes in the field of behavior change research. Closing date for applications is December 5, 2017.

| Description: | Supported by the NIH Common Fund (Common Fund) Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) Program, this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits exploratory and developmental research project applications (R21) that will further the goal of the SOBC Program to advance a mechanisms-focused, experimental medicine approach to behavior change research. Funded projects in the SOBC Research Network have developed experimental manipulations, assays, and/or measures (hereafter referred to as assays for brevity) to support an experimental medicine approach to behavior change research. The SOBC Measures Repository assays are accessible from the SOBC Research Network Open Science Framework (OSF) page at https://osf.io/zp7b4. The goal of this announcement is to leverage SOBC Measures Repository assays of putative targets in self-regulation, stress reactivity and stress resilience, and interpersonal and social processes domains to (1) engage a selected putative target(s)/mechanism(s) of action or verify target engagement of the selected target(s)/mechanism(s) of action, and (2) test the degree to which engaging the putative target(s)/mechanism(s) of action produces a short-term desired change in a health behavior. Putative targets are the mechanisms or processes hypothesized to be malleable and play a causal role in producing behavior change, including medical regimen adherence. |
