Background
Diet and physical activity are lifestyle and behavioral factors that play a role in the etiology and prevention of many chronic diseases, such as cancer, coronary heart disease, and overweight/obesity as well as in maintaining weight loss. Accurate longitudinal data on physical activity and dietary intake patterns is also critical for understanding how these factors may impact health and functional status over the human lifespan. Therefore, diet and physical activity are assessed for surveillance, epidemiological, behavioral, and clinical research purposes. The measurement of usual dietary intake or physical activity over varying intervals or in the past, by necessity, has relied on self-report instruments. Such reports are cognitively difficult for respondents, and are prone to varying degrees of measurement error depending on the period considered, the ease of the instrument, and the characteristics of the respondents. Efforts are underway to improve methods of assessment of dietary intake and physical activity, but much research and development remains to advance the field. Furthermore, improvements in understanding and interpreting data generated by existing instruments and the concepts they address may provide insights into differences among population subgroups, external influences, and interventions designed to change or improve dietary intake and physical activity amongst other questions.
A. Dietary Assessment
Self-report dietary assessment instruments are used in a variety of research settings to estimate the consumption of individual foods or nutrients, though it is known that their ability to measure energy is especially limited. Such instruments include food records in which respondents record foods as they are consumed, detailed and standardized 24-hour recalls which query intake for the past 24-hours or previous day, food frequency questionnaires which ask individuals to report usual frequency of intake of a long list of foods over a specified time, and screeners or short food frequency instruments that target the capture of intake of one or a few foods or nutrients. Each of these self-report dietary assessment instruments has strengths and limitations.
The limitations of self-administered dietary assessment instruments pose significant challenges for all population-based dietary research, as well as for intervention and/or metabolic studies, in which stringent monitoring of overall dietary composition and energy intake is desired. Therefore, novel and improved methods and tools related to objective and self-reported measures of dietary intakes are critically needed. Researchers also need new objective recovery (e.g., doubly labeled water for energy, 24-hour urinary nitrogen) and predictive (e.g. 24-hour urinary sucrose) biomarkers for dietary constituents and foods as well as new tools, methods and technologies for obtaining biomarkers such as improved doubly labeled water protocols and alternatives to doubly labeled water for all types of dietary research.
B. Physical Activity Assessment
Until the mid-1990s, the primary focus of research and recommendations regarding physical activity was on sustained vigorous exercise. Such activity is usually obtained through purposeful, programmed behavior, such as jogging, swimming, or sports participation. Thus, the programmed nature of exercise facilitates reporting, although validation studies generally find a bias toward over-reporting. Monitoring behavior to assess sedentary, light- or moderate-intensity activities is a challenge because of the need to assess many activities of short duration that may occur as part of routine daily functions in varying contexts, e.g., transportation, occupation, household chores, as well as recreation and sport. The importance of promoting and maintaining strength, balance, and flexibility is well-known; however, little attention has been given to assessment of these types of activities.
To date, many instruments (both reported and device-based) have been developed, and some have been validated. In addition, some types of questionnaires include sources of physical activity common among certain racial/ethnic groups. However, efforts to understand how various population subgroups interpret certain constructs used in physical activity questionnaires, such as leisure time activity or moderate physical activity, are limited. Recently, technological advances have led the collection of device-measured frequency, duration, and intensity of activity using wearable monitors that can record movement, heart rate, and other physiological signals. A challenge with the use of monitors is capturing total activity to estimate energy expenditure; furthermore, without supplemental data collection, activity monitors do not capture activity context (e.g., occupation, transportation, household, recreation).
High-resolution movement signals available from current accelerometer-based devices are the basis of a variety of algorithms that seek to identify activity types, in addition to improving estimates of energy expenditure. A challenge to the physical activity field is to arrive at a consensus approach to processing the acceleration data that is becoming available from a variety of devices. Another challenge is to increase the understanding of the unique and shared aspects of reported physical activity behaviors and the movement and physiological data available from devices. More research is needed to advance the procedures for data collection, analysis, and reporting of device-measured physical activity as well as sedentary behavior.C. Measurement Error in Diet and Physical Activity Assessment
Diet and physical activity assessments are affected by similar sources of measurement error and techniques developed for one area may be adapted or applied to the other. Self-report of both diet and, physical activity is prone to measurement error related to challenges of memory, estimation, and bias. Such error can obscure relationships between diet/physical activity and disease risk, and may distort data used for surveillance. Recent applications of measurement error theory to dietary assessment have shown that reporting error may mask potentially important relationships with other variables. Furthermore, the demonstration of correlated errors between FFQs and 24-hour recalls has indicated the strengths and limitations of using calibration studies to correct for measurement error. With regard to physical activity, methods to evaluate measurement error and algorithms to compensate for such errors with statistical models and analytic procedures remain underdeveloped.
D. Pattern Analysis in Diet and Physical Activity
Different statistical methods have been used to characterize patterns to examine the multiple dimensions of diet and/or physical activity. The current interest in diet and physical activity patterns creates a critical need to examine the reproducibility and validity of these analysis methods. For investigator-driven methods, research is needed to test how the scoring, weighting, selection and measurement of individual component items, and modeling strategies influence the validity of the index. Similarly, for data-driven methods, additional work is needed to test the most useful categorization and treatment of input variables, the statistical methods and options used to derive patterns, and the use of statistical testing to guide pattern selection. Research is also needed to examine how the use of pattern analyses may attenuate or exacerbate measurement error issues, to investigate the cultural variation in food patterns and how food grouping may be influenced by different contexts, and to evaluate the ability to measure change in dietary patterns over time.
E. Potential for Integrated Measurement of Diet, Physical Activity, and the Built Environment
Recent advances in objective measurement of movement and location with global positioning systems (GPS), accelerometers, pedometers, cell phones, miniaturized video cameras and other devices for tracking individuals and individual behavior, along with powerful new analytical tools for exploring spatially referenced data using geographic information systems (GIS), have created a rich opportunity for the integrated measurement of environmental context and behavior. For example, combined GPS and accelerometer units are being used to measure both intensity of physical activity and the setting in which this activity occurred. Similarly, mobile phones, which incorporate GPS systems and cameras, could capture both serving size and dining locale. Despite the promise of such technological advances, and despite the strong interest in ecological models of health behavior, there continues to be a critical need for more published studies describing and validating usable tools that simultaneously incorporate the measurement of diet, physical activity, and the environment. Such studies are urgently needed to guide researchers regarding selection of appropriate tools.
Specific Research ObjectivesThis FOA will support research pertinent to improving the measurements of diet and physical activity through the development of better instruments, innovative technologies, and/or applications of advanced statistical/analytic techniques. Applications should be aimed at exploring and optimizing innovative combinations of device-based and self-report measures of physical activity or dietary intake in both the general population and its diverse subgroups.
Specifically, this funding opportunity is intended to support innovative research focused on assessments of dietary and physical activity patterns and the settings in which such behaviors occur, not on the determinants of these behaviors, studies of the causal association between environment and behavior, or interventions designed to modify or improve behaviors related to dietary intake or physical activity/sedentary behavior. Moreover, it is not the primary intent of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to make minor adjustments to existing instruments (such as simply adding specific foods or activities to the already established standardized methods and questionnaires). Rather, the purpose is to promote substantive improvements in the assessment of diet and physical activity as related to public health, obesity, cancer, and chronic diseases across the lifespan.Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
NCCIH is interested in supporting research to develop and validate novel methods and measures to objectively assess participation in meditative movements, including yoga, tai chi, and qi gong.

Recipients of federal financial assistance (FFA) from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights law. This means that recipients of HHS funds must ensure equal access to their programs without regard to a person’s race, color, national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, sex and religion. This includes ensuring your programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal investigator’s scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research.
In accordance with the statutory provisions contained in Section 872 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), NIH awards will be subject to the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) requirements. FAPIIS requires Federal award making officials to review and consider information about an applicant in the designated integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS) prior to making an award. An applicant, at its option, may review information in the designated integrity and performance systems accessible through FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal agency previously entered and is currently in FAPIIS. The Federal awarding agency will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition to other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgement about the applicant’s integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants as described in 45 CFR Part 75.205 “Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants.” This provision will apply to all NIH grants and cooperative agreements except fellowships.
For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section VII under Agency Contacts of this FOA. HHS provides general guidance to recipients of FFA on meeting their legal obligation to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs by persons with limited English proficiency. Please see https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-individuals/special-topics/limited-english-proficiency/index.html. The HHS Office for Civil Rights also provides guidance on complying with civil rights laws enforced by HHS. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html; and https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-providers/laws-regulations-guidance/index.html. Recipients of FFA also have specific legal obligations for serving qualified individuals with disabilities. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/disability/index.html. Please contact the HHS Office for Civil Rights for more information about obligations and prohibitions under federal civil rights laws at https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/about-us/contact-us/index.html or call 1-800-368-1019 or TDD 1-800-537-7697. Also note it is an HHS Departmental goal to ensure access to quality, culturally competent care, including long-term services and supports, for vulnerable populations. For further guidance on providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services, recipients should review the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care at http://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=53.
