The NIH Common Fund’s Science of Behavior Change program is offering grants for research on behavior change principles. This initiative supports innovative approaches to address the gap between research and practice in behavioral interventions. Investigators are encouraged to develop bold strategies to improve the adoption and sustainability of efficacious interventions in real-world settings. Proposed projects should focus on change mechanisms for behavior interventions, aiming to bridge the gap between research findings and practical applications. Applications should align with the program’s goal of enhancing the understanding of behavior change initiation, personalization, and maintenance. Deadline for proposals is May 15, 2012.

| 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. |
