Hydo, MBA, Executive Director (lhydo@aol.com) on or before July 15, 2020. Inclusion of preliminary data is encouraged. Applications should reflect relevant multidisciplinary collaboration (e.g., cell biologists, epidemiologists, immunologists, virologists, etc..) depending on the nature of the proposal. Evidence of additional/matching funding for the project will receive favorable consideration. Applications will be adjudicated by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation. Indirect costs will not be awarded per the policy of the Foundation.

Long-Term Effects of Disasters on Health Care Systems Serving Health Disparity Populations (R01 – Clinical Trial Optional)
NIMHD is partnering with National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support a new funding opportunity announcement (FOA): PA-20-172. The FOA is titled: Long-Term Effects of Disasters on Health Care Systems Serving Health Disparity Populations (R01 – Clinical Trial Optional).
The purpose of this FOA is to support investigative and collaborative research focused on understanding the long-term effects of natural and/or human-made disasters on health care systems serving health disparity populations across communities in the U.S., including the U.S. territories. NIH-designated health disparity populations include racial and ethnic minorities (Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinas, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders), sexual and gender minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and underserved rural populations.
Application First Due Date: October 5, 2020.
For inquiries related to NIMHD’s scientific and research involvement concerning this FOA, contact Dr. Larissa Avilés-Santa at avilessantal@nih.gov. View the full funding opportunity announcement for more information.
