*New* RFAs from NIH on Social Networks and Health (due 11/3/23)

Posted: 6/9/2023 ()

Two new calls seek basic observational or experimental behavioral and/or social science R01 applications that test how intrapersonal and interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change interact with, influence, or are influenced by characteristics of social networks, with implications for health. Research supported through this NOFO will examine at least two levels of analysis: interpersonal processes and social network characteristics. Projects will identify targets for future social network health behavior change interventions across the lifespan, especially in populations in which they are currently largely underdeveloped and untested (e.g., populations in mid- to- late life). Basic research to develop, refine, or optimize measures (i.e., assays) of putative targets (e.g., intra/interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change and/or social network characteristics) is also supported by this NOFO.  Details can be found here:

 

• RFA-AG-24-025 – Leveraging Social Networks to Promote Widespread Individual Behavior Change (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
• RFA-AG-24-026 – Leveraging Social Networks to Promote Widespread Individual Behavior Change (R34 Clinical Trial Optional)

Deadline: 11/03/2023
