Training Supported by the OBSSR

The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) supports a variety of in-person training experiences to encourage the application of innovative methods and enhance the research capabilities of investigators conducting health-relevant behavioral and social sciences research.

TIDIRH Update: As of 2020, OBSSR is no longer coordinating the Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH) program. The Institute for Implementation Science Scholars (IS2) at Washington University is being offered as a potential alternative. This program is supported by the OBSSR led RFA on Short Courses on Innovative Methodologies and Approaches in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R25).

The below training opportunities are primarily Summer Training Institutes, most of which are supported by an RFA on Short Courses on Innovative Methodologies and Approaches in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R25).
