The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this time-sensitive grant to support the rapid evaluation of new policies or programs impacting obesity-related behaviors, such as dietary intake, physical activity, and sedentary habits, or weight outcomes. This grant is for researchers seeking to prevent or reduce obesity by studying opportunities that are uniquely available only through expedited review and funding. Applicants must demonstrate a scientifically compelling and uncommon research opportunity that requires immediate initiation. The process is designed for quick turnaround, aiming for awards within four months, though administrative factors may vary.
