The National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), has announced a new funding opportunity titled “Implementation Research on Noncommunicable Disease Risk Factors among Low- and Middle-Income Country and Tribal Populations Living in City Environments (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)” under the number PAR-23-319. This initiative, unveiled on December 12, 2023, invites innovative research proposals aimed at reducing the risks of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in urban areas of World Bank-defined low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribal Nation populations in the United States.
The funding opportunity seeks applications that focus on overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines for NCDs. This includes research that advances dissemination and implementation methods and measures. The scope of this grant is broad, encompassing urban centers, informal settlements, slums, and peri-urban areas. It aims to equip policymakers and practitioners with strategies for prevention and management of NCDs among disadvantaged populations globally. The application window for this grant opportunity closes on March 11, 2024, with an archive date set for April 16, 2024. This announcement is a significant step towards addressing the growing challenge of NCDs in rapidly urbanizing regions and underserved Tribal communities.

| Description: | The National Institutes of Health (NIH) participating Institutes and Centers (ICs), in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), invite applications for implementation research focused on addressing risk factors for common noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in World Bank-defined low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribal Nation populations in the United States. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, developing, and implementingstrategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures into application are encouraged. Specifically, this FOA invites applications that propose implementation research targeted to reducing the risks of NCDs in the context of cities in LMICs and/or among AI/AN Tribal Nation populations in cities in the United States, with the potential to equip policymakers and practitioners with evidence-based strategies for prevention and/or management of NCDs among disadvantaged populations globally. In the context of this FOA, “cities” include urban centers, informal settlements and slums, and periurban areas. |
