Department of Health and Human Services & National Institutes of Health - School-Based Interventions to Prevent Obesity (R01)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Project Grant encourages the formation of partnerships between academic institutions and school systems in order to develop and implement controlled, school-based intervention strategies designed to reduce the prevalence of obesity in children. The NIH also encourages evaluative comparisons of different intervention strategies and the detection of synergistic interactions between different types of interventions.
Eligible applicants include public/state controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; non-profits with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status; small businesses; for-profit organizations; state governments; and Indian/Native Tribal Governments. Given that the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of awards will also vary.
Deadline: July 6, 2009
