Dear SDOH colleagues,
The NIH National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) has
just released a request for applications for Community Participation in Health
Disparities Intervention Research (http://www.ncmhd.nih.gov/)
Request For Applications (RFA) Number: RFA-MD-05-002
Letters of Intent Receipt Date(s): March 14, 2005
Application Receipt Dates(s): April 14, 2005
Peer Review Date(s): July-August 2005
Council Review Date(s): September 2005
Earliest Anticipated Start Date: September 2005
Expiration Date: April 15, 2005
The ultimate goal of this RFA is to support intervention research on health
disparities that is jointly conducted by communities and researchers. This RFA
will utilize the NIH resource-related research projects (R24) grant award
mechanism. The total amount to be awarded is $4.5 million. The anticipated
number of awards is 5-10.
Eligible organizations include not-for-profit and for-profit, public or private
organizations, units of state and local governments, eligible agencies of the
Federal Government, domestic institutions/organizations, faith-based or
community-based organizations, and Native American tribal organizations.
Eligible principal investigators are any individuals with the skills,
knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research.
Each applicant may submit only one application in response to this RFA.
The PHS 398 application instructions are available at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive
format. For further assistance contact GrantsInfo, Telephone (301) 435-0714,

The goal of this RFA is to support community-based participatory research in
planning, implementing, evaluating and disseminating effective interventions
for a disease or condition to reduce and eventually eliminate health
disparities through partnerships between minority health populations,
subpopulations, and other heath disparity populations and researchers.
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is defined as scientific inquiry
conducted in communities and in partnership with researchers. The process of
scientific inquiry is such that community members, persons affected by the
health condition, disability or issue under study, or other key stakeholders in
the community's health have the opportunity to be full participants in each
phase of the work (from conception - design - conduct - analysis -
interpretation - conclusions - communication of results). CBPR is characterized
by substantial community input in the development of the grant application
(http://www.niehs.nih.gov/translat/cbpr/cbpr.htm).
For the purpose of this RFA, community refers to populations that may be
defined by: geography, race, ethnicity, gender, illness, or other health
condition, or to groups that have a common interest or cause, such as health or
service agencies and organizations, health care or public health practitioners
or providers, policy makers, or lay public groups with public health concerns.
Community-based organizations refer to organizations that may be involved in
the research process as members or representatives of the community. While not
an exhaustive list, organizations as varied as Tribal governments and colleges,
state or local governments, independent living centers, other educational
institutions such as junior colleges, advocacy organizations, health delivery
organizations (e.g., hospitals), health professional associations,
non-governmental organizations, and federally qualified health centers are
possible community partners.
In the NIH Health Disparities Strategic Plan, Fiscal Years 2004-2008, the
health disparity populations are the racial and ethnic minority groups
delineated within Section 1707(g), Public Law 106-25, as well as populations
with low socioeconomic status and those living in rural areas. The racial and
ethnic minority group refers to American Indians (including Alaska Natives,
Eskimos, and Aleuts), Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific
Islanders, Blacks and Hispanics. Hispanics are individuals whose origin is
Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or any other
Spanish-speaking country. The other health disparity populations are population
groups who suffer health disparities when compared to the general population.
(http://www.ncmhd.nih.gov)
NCMHD is interested in supporting intervention research studies using
community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles to reduce and
eventually eliminate health disparities in any disease or condition of major
concern to the community (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes,
HIV/AIDS, infant mortality, immunization) with emphasis on racial and ethnic
minorities.
This initiative will start with a three-year planning grant, followed by a
competitive five- year intervention grant, and conclude with a competitive
three-year dissemination grant. Receipt of a planning grant does not guarantee
obtaining the subsequent intervention or dissemination grant. Subsequent grant
awards will be based on scientific merit, progress, quality of the research
proposal, and availability of funds.
This RFA is inviting applications for a three-year planning grant proposal. The
first year of the grant is devoted to partnership development, community needs
assessment, identifying the disease/condition for intervention research, and
planning the intervention methodology with substantial input from the
community. During the second and third year, a pilot intervention research
study will be conducted with community participation.
Successful partnership development with a defined community and developing a
plan for intervention research including a pilot intervention research study
using CBPR principles are required for participating in the competition for the
next stage of funding for the intervention research grant.
