In a joint directorate collaboration (mathematical sciences and social, behavioral, and economics sciences) has re-issued a call for proposals to the IHBEM program. The Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM) Program supports research that incorporates research on social and behavioral processes in mathematical epidemiological models. The program provides support for projects that involve balanced participation from the mathematical sciences and from the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. For more information read the program solicitation. CSDE is always ready and willing to support your grant preparation and submission. Contact Belinda Sachs or Steve Goodreau, if you’d like help with preparing an application.
As of January 25, 2023 NIH grant applications will be required to include a data management and sharing plan for any research products generated during the grant period. The UW’s Office of Research has prepared an excellent resource page for meeting this new requirement. If you need any research infrastructure support to meet the needs of your projects and the expectations of the data management and sharing plans, don’t hesitate to contact any of us at CSDE for that kind of support.
Here are the details:
To promote the management and sharing of scientific data generated from NIH-funded or conducted research, NIH issued a new policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy, NOT-OD-21-013) which goes into effect for new or competing proposals due on or after January 25, 2023. These proposals must include a data management and sharing plan, and costs to meet this new requirement can be included in the Direct Costs and Justification sections of proposals. FOAs may include specific requirements and may specify a repository. Attached is a slide deck with a summary of information.
Recommended steps and resources are outlined here.
The DMS Plan must be attached to the proposal and will be assessed by the NIH Institute/Center Program staff. It will not be reviewed by peer reviewers as part of the Overall Impact score. If the DMS Plan is revised during the award period, NIH will need to approve any revisions.

Through the HEAL Initiative, NIH requests applications for studies designed to develop and test sustainable, scalable interventions to prevent opioid misuse, opioid use disorder, and co-occurring mental health conditions by intervening directly on social determinants of health (SDOH). This initiative aims to build an evidence base for preventive interventions that address inequities, social risks and/or social disadvantage. Interventions targeting social determinants may be structural (e.g. policy, regulatory, or systemic-wide changes) or designed to alter outcomes of individuals affected by contextual risk factors, and may be implemented in conjunction with psychosocial interventions designed to address behavioral risks.
