The NIH Common Fund’s Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) program is offering this grant to support high-impact, cross-cutting research initiatives. This grant seeks to advance the fundamental understanding of how behavior change is initiated, personalized, and successfully maintained. The SOBC program encourages investigators to develop bold, innovative, and potentially transformative approaches to address challenging problems. A key focus is bridging the persistent gap between efficacious treatments demonstrated in controlled research settings and their actual adoption or sustainability in real-world practice. This grant aims to fund projects exploring the underlying principles of behavior change, whether through modifying interventions or refining delivery systems, to ultimately improve health outcomes and close this research-to-practice divide.

| Description: | This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund, which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. This announcement was developed by a Common Fund program called the Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) (http://commonfund.nih.gov/behaviorchange/). The SOBC program seeks to promote research across disciplines on the initiation, personalization, and maintenance of behavior change that leads to an improved understanding of the underlying principles of behavior change. Like all Common Fund initiatives, this SOBC initiative invites investigators to develop bold, innovative, and potentially risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. One seemingly intractable problem is the gap between practice and research, in which treatments shown to be efficacious under controlled conditions are not adopted for use, or are unsustainable, in practice settings. There is debate in the behavioral and social sciences fields about how best to bridge this gap, with some investigators focusing on modifying the intervention, and others focusing on modifying the delivery system. |
