This grant from NICHD, NCI, and OBSSR establishes a Center of Excellence for childhood obesity research and training. It employs a transdisciplinary systems science framework, utilizing modeling to understand obesity’s complex etiology and assess environmental/policy intervention impacts. The center, partnering US and international institutions, will conduct epidemiological research on biological, environmental, and macrosocial factors. It also funds and performs environmental/policy evaluations and interventions, building infrastructure for postgraduate systems-oriented research and training in obesity and chronic disease prevention.

| Description: | Purpose. This FOA issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Cancer Institute (NCI), and Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits grant applications from institutions that propose to establish a center of excellence of childhood obesity research and training based on a transdisciplinary systems science framework and systems-based methodologies, including the use of systems modeling to capture the complexity of the etiology of childhood obesity and the potential impact of environmental and/or policy interventions. The center of excellence, structured as U.S. institutions in partnership with international institutions, will undertake epidemiological research linking biological with environmental and macrosocial factors of childhood obesity, conduct and provide developmental research funding for environmental and policy evaluations and/or interventions, and establish an infrastructure for postgraduate systems-oriented research and training in the field of obesity and chronic disease prevention and control. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U54 award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. For this funding opportunity,the NICHD, NCI and OBSSR intend to commit a total of $4.25M in FY2011 and one award is anticipated. Time periods up to five years may be requested. |
