Disparities (NIMHD)

Title: Advancing Health Disparities Interventions Through Community-Based Participatory Research (U01)

The overarching goals are to:

1. Enhance community capacity in research for which they will directly benefit

2. Support collaborative intervention projects addressing health disparities

3. Accelerate the translation of findings into improved health and health outcomes

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support promising community interventions using CBPR principles and approaches aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating health disparities.

NIMHD

$10,000,000 in FY 2016 to fund 20 awards

Appropriate research intervention topics include interventions to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors (e.g., physical activity, healthy diets) to prevent or reduce overweight/obesity and obesity-related complications (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, diabetes) 

Multi-level interventions that include a combination of individual, group (such as peers, family members, etc.), and/or community-level intervention components.

Interventions that include health information technology applications (e.g. behavior monitoring tools, decision aids, health information portals, etc.) and/or social media elements.

Interventions that draw upon existing community strengths and resilience

Discussion Questions

1. Discuss pilot study intervention strategies that had great promise, but were not implemented or not implemented well: How can these strategies (e.g., church physical activity and

walking programs, cooking classes, increased DPP and LTC enrollment) be strengthened?

2. Review the Diabetes and Heart Disease/Stroke intervention strategies from the needs assessment survey, particularly high ranking strategies: Are there strategies that should be given further

consideration for inclusion that could be feasible within the grant timeline?

3. What other strategies were not included in the pilot study or the needs assessment, but should be considered for inclusion in the refined intervention?

4. How can intervention strategies be delivered to community members with greater exposure?
