Grants Available to Research Impact of Health Communication on Dietary Behavior

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has issued a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for research projects focused on creating and executing communication strategies to change dietary behaviors to improve health.

The FOA is designed to promote interdisciplinary research at multiple levels—individual, environmental, and policy—and across diverse populations. Research targeting populations at high risk for obesity, such as children, teenagers, and minority populations, is encouraged.

The funding will be awarded as R01 and R21 grants. The NIH R01 grant

  • supports a discrete, specified, circumscribed research project
  • is the NIH’s most commonly used grant program
  • is not limited to a specific dollar amount unless specified in the FOA
  • requires advance permission for $500,000 or more in direct costs in any year
  • is generally awarded for 3 to 5 years
The NIH R21 grant
  • encourages new, exploratory, and developmental research projects by supporting the early stages of project development
  • is sometimes used for pilot and feasibility studies
  • limits funding to 2 years
  • usually limits the combined budget for direct costs for the 2-year project period to $275,000
  • generally requires no preliminary data

For complete information about applying for the R01 grant, go to www.grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-08-239.html. For more information about the R21 grant, go to www.grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-08-240.html.
