This grant, offered by the Behavioral and Social Science Research department, encourages studies into the causes and solutions for health and disability disparities across the U.S. population. It specifically addresses significant health gaps observed among racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents compared to the general U.S. population. The research emphasizes three broad action areas: public policy, health care, and disease/disability prevention, with a core goal of narrowing these health divides. Proposals that employ interdisciplinary methods, investigate multiple analysis levels, incorporate a life-course perspective, or utilize innovative approaches such as systems science and community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged.

| Description: | The purpose of this FOA is to encourage behavioral and social science research on the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S. population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1) public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to reducing health gaps among groups. Applications that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as systems science or community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged. |
