This grant is for supporting exploratory and developmental research leveraging Virtual Reality (VR) technologies. Its core purpose is to utilize VR’s unique capabilities—visualizing outcomes, teaching, motivating, and extending healthcare environments—to foster beneficial eating, physical activity, and self-care behaviors crucial for preventing and managing obesity and diabetes. Projects should be multidisciplinary, combining VR expertise with biomedical behavioral and pedagogical sciences. The overarching goal is to develop VR into a powerful research tool for behavioral science studies and a practical solution for clinical and public health interventions.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage submission of exploratory/developmental research applications that capitalize on the unique capabilities of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies to visualize outcomes, teach, motivate, and to extend the health care and learning environments, in order to foster desirable eating, physical activity, self-care, and other health-related behaviors necessary for prevention and management of obesity and diabetes.
Of highest interest are well-designed multidisciplinary projects drawing on expertise in VR technologies and biomedical behavioral, and pedagogical sciences. The overall goal is to develop the potential of VR technologies as research tools for behavioral science-oriented studies in diabetes and obesity, and as practical tools for clinical and public health-level prevention and management of obesity and diabetes. |
