Causal Hypotheses on the Oral-Systemic Health Impacts of Human Behaviors among People with Chronic Conditions (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NIH cooperative agreement funds innovative research to develop or refine causal hypotheses about human behaviors and their oral-systemic health impacts among people with chronic conditions.
⚑ U01 cooperative agreement · Clinical Trial Not Allowed · foreign organizations and foreign components not allowed
This is a biomedical/oral health NIH mechanism centered on clinical and behavioral determinants of oral-systemic outcomes in people with chronic conditions, which is far outside this team’s policy, risk perception, weather, energy, and environmental communication portfolio. They might contribute only tangentially on survey or behavior methods, not as a natural PI team for this topic.

Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for innovative research on the factors that cause human behaviors and the oral-systemic health impacts of those behaviors to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability among people with chronic conditions. Causal hypotheses may include biological, biopsychosocial, congenital, environmental, interpersonal, neurological, psychological, and comorbidity factors that individually, sequentially, or in combination trigger human behaviors and oral-systemic health outcomes, with impacts that may be direct or traceably distal. Applications that propose projects to develop or refine causal hypotheses also are encouraged.
Eligibility

Eligibility Information in the NOFO for additional information on eligibility.Foreign Organizations/International Collaborations:Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply.Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed.
