Section 1. Funding Opportunity Description

Scientific Interests of Partnering NIH Institutes and Centers Are Delineated Below:

Specific Areas of Research Interest for ODSS:

ODSS will support research education and training activities that lead to enhanced data science access, knowledge, skills and proficiency, including individuals from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral and social sciences, in alignment with the Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity (NOT-OD-20-031). Activities are encouraged that help students develop foundational competencies in data science-relevant subjects, gain insight on the application of data science in biomedical research, or grow a biomedical data science community of peers and mentors.

Specific Areas of Research Interest for NIMHD:

NIMHD will support training activities that advance scientific understanding of the causes of health disparities and efforts to reduce health disparities and improve minority health. As part of its efforts to strengthen the national research capacity for minority health and health disparities research, NIMHD is committed to increasing the number of investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups (see, Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity, NOT-OD-20-031), pursuing biomedical research, particularly on diseases that disproportionately impact populations with health disparities https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/strategic-plan/. To this end, NIMHD is interested in supporting programs that increase educational opportunities for research projects that use approaches encompassing multiple domains of influence (e.g., biological, behavioral, sociocultural, environmental, physical environment, health system) and multiple levels of influence (e.g., individual, interpersonal, family, peer group, community, societal) to understand and address health disparities (see the NIMHD Research Framework, https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/overview/research-framework.html).

Specific Areas of Research Interest for All of Us:
