This grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is for basic experimental studies involving human participants. Its purpose is to explore the underlying mechanisms by which social connectedness and isolation influence human health, wellbeing, illness, and recovery. Projects must prospectively assign participants to conditions, manipulate variables, and assess biomedical or behavioral outcomes. This research aims to generate fundamental knowledge about these social phenomena. While meeting NIH’s clinical trial definition, these are basic research, intended to deepen our foundational understanding of how social factors profoundly shape health, not to develop immediate applications.

| Description: | This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites research projects that seek to explain the underlying mechanisms, processes, and trajectories of social relationships and how these factors affect outcomes in human health, illness, recovery, and overall wellbeing. Types of projects submitted under this FOA include studies that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical and/or behavioral outcomes in humans to understand fundamental aspects of phenomena related to social connectedness and isolatedness. NIH considers such studies as prospective basic science studies involving human participants that meet the NIH definition of basic research and fall within the NIH definition of clinical trials (see, e.g., NOT-OD-19-024) Types of studies that should submit under this FOA include studies that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical or behavioral outcomes in humans for the purpose of understanding the fundamental aspects of phenomena without specific application towards processes or products in mind. |
