Opportunity Summary:
The Health Promotion Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Males (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 13-328) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary research grant designed to grow and strengthen the evidence base on how to improve health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority men. The central purpose is to stimulate and expand research focused specifically on the health of minority males, with attention to the real-world conditions that shape health behavior and, ultimately, health disparities. It emphasizes both discovery-oriented work that clarifies why disparities persist and intervention-oriented work that tests practical strategies to reduce them.
A major focus of the announcement is building a clearer understanding of the many interacting factors that influence health-promoting behaviors among racial and ethnic minority males and their subpopulations across the life course. The opportunity highlights multiple levels of influence, including sociodemographic factors (such as income, education, employment, and insurance), community conditions (like neighborhood resources, safety, access to healthy foods, and availability of quality care), societal forces (including discrimination, structural barriers, and social norms), and personal factors (such as beliefs, knowledge, stress, coping, and motivation). The intent is to encourage research that does not treat these factors in isolation, but instead examines how they combine to shape behaviors and outcomes for different groups of men at different life stages.
In addition to understanding determinants of health behavior, the initiative strongly encourages applications that develop and test culturally and linguistically appropriate health-promoting interventions aimed at reducing health disparities among racially and ethnically diverse males, particularly those age 21 and older. In practical terms, NIH is looking for projects that do more than translate existing programs word-for-word. The interventions should be designed with cultural context in mind and delivered in a way that makes sense for the intended communities, including language access where needed. The emphasis on testing suggests a preference for rigorous evaluation approaches that can demonstrate whether an intervention actually improves health behaviors or related outcomes and can be feasibly delivered in real settings.
This opportunity uses the R01 mechanism, meaning it supports substantial, hypothesis-driven research projects that can include observational studies, behavioral or social science research, and intervention development and efficacy/effectiveness testing. It is listed under NIH activity categories that include education, food and nutrition, and health, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 93.361 (Nursing Research) and 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research), reflecting the broad health relevance and the likelihood that projects could span multiple conditions and systems.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes a wide range of domestic and international applicants. Eligible applicants include small businesses; for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; public and private institutions of higher education; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and many government entities such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts. It also explicitly includes tribal governments (federally recognized and other than federally recognized), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, AANAPISI institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components are allowed as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. The announcement states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Key administrative details include the posting timeline and closeout dates: it was posted August 12, 2013 (created August 13, 2013), with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2016, and an archive date of October 8, 2016. The full announcement is linked through NIH at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-328.html. For access or technical linking issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, PA 13-328 is best understood as an NIH effort to push the field toward more precise, context-aware research on minority men and toward interventions that are not only evidence-based, but also culturally grounded and realistically deployable, with the explicit goal of reducing persistent health disparities among racial and ethnic minority male populations age 21 and older.
FAQs: Health Promotion Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Males (R01) - PA 13-328
What is PA 13-328?
PA 13-328 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Funding Opportunity Announcement for the research grant titled "Health Promotion Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Males (R01)." It uses the NIH R01 mechanism and is described as a discretionary research grant focused on strengthening the evidence base for improving health outcomes among racial and ethnic minority men.
What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The central purpose is to stimulate and expand research focused specifically on the health of racial and ethnic minority males. It emphasizes research grounded in real-world conditions that shape health behavior and contribute to health disparities, with the explicit goal of reducing persistent health disparities.
What types of research does this opportunity emphasize?
The announcement emphasizes both discovery-oriented research (to clarify why health disparities persist) and intervention-oriented research (to test practical strategies to reduce disparities). It also encourages research that examines multiple interacting influences on health-promoting behaviors rather than treating factors in isolation.
Who is the primary population of interest?
The primary focus is on racial and ethnic minority males and their subpopulations across the life course. The opportunity particularly encourages interventions aimed at reducing health disparities among racially and ethnically diverse males, especially those age 21 and older.
Does the opportunity focus only on adults?
No. It highlights minority males and their subpopulations across the life course. However, it particularly encourages intervention applications focused on males age 21 and older.
What does NIH mean by "real-world conditions" in this announcement?
Based on the description, "real-world conditions" refers to the social, community, societal, and personal contexts that shape health behaviors and outcomes. The announcement calls for context-aware work that reflects the conditions in which people live and access resources and care.
What levels of influence on health behavior are highlighted?
The opportunity highlights multiple levels of influence, including:
- Sociodemographic factors (income, education, employment, insurance)
- Community conditions (neighborhood resources, safety, access to healthy foods, availability of quality care)
- Societal forces (discrimination, structural barriers, social norms)
- Personal factors (beliefs, knowledge, stress, coping, motivation)
Does NIH want researchers to study these factors separately or together?
NIH is encouraging research that does not treat these factors in isolation. The intent is to examine how multiple factors interact and combine to shape health behaviors and outcomes for different groups of men at different life stages.
What kind of interventions are encouraged?
The initiative strongly encourages applications that develop and test culturally and linguistically appropriate health-promoting interventions designed to reduce health disparities among racially and ethnically diverse males, particularly those age 21 and older.
What does "culturally and linguistically appropriate" mean in the context of this announcement?
In practical terms, NIH is looking for interventions designed with the cultural context of the intended communities in mind and delivered in a way that makes sense for those communities. This includes language access where needed, and it suggests that applicants should do more than translate existing programs word-for-word.
Is translating an existing program enough for this opportunity?
The announcement suggests NIH is looking for more than word-for-word translation of existing programs. Interventions should be culturally grounded and delivered in ways that fit the intended communities, including appropriate language access.
Does this opportunity favor rigorous evaluation of interventions?
Yes. The emphasis on testing suggests a preference for rigorous evaluation approaches that can demonstrate whether an intervention improves health behaviors or related outcomes and can be feasibly delivered in real settings.
