Opportunity Summary:
Healthy Habits Timing for Developing Sustainable Healthy Behaviors in Children and Adolescents (R03) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity led by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), with participation from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR). The program uses the NIH Small Grant mechanism (R03) to support innovative, early stage projects that explore how healthy behaviors form and persist from birth through age 18, and how the timing of influences and interventions may matter for building habits that last. The overall focus is on understanding mechanisms that shape behavior and on testing approaches that can promote positive, sustainable health behaviors in children and adolescents.
The kinds of behaviors highlighted in the announcement are practical, everyday actions that add up over time and affect long term health outcomes. Examples include establishing healthy sleep routines, strengthening self regulation skills (such as managing emotions and impulses), improving decision making in risky situations, maintaining proper dental hygiene, eating a balanced and nutritious diet, participating in age appropriate physical activity, and developing or maintaining healthy relationships. The announcement is broad on purpose, inviting research that looks at multiple developmental stages (infancy, childhood, adolescence), different settings (home, school, clinic, community), and diverse populations, as long as the work is centered on how healthy behaviors start, change, and become durable.
Because this is an R03, the opportunity is geared toward smaller, tightly scoped studies that can generate important preliminary evidence, refine measures, test feasibility, or identify key pathways that later studies could evaluate at a larger scale. Projects might, for example, examine why a behavior change sticks in one age group but not another, identify social or family factors that shape habit formation, test a brief intervention strategy, or clarify biological, psychological, social, or environmental mechanisms that explain behavior adoption and maintenance. The emphasis on mechanisms of influence signals interest not only in whether something works, but in how and why it works, and under what conditions it is most likely to produce lasting effects.
Funding for this opportunity has an award ceiling of $50,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The Funding Opportunity Number is PA-11-328. It was posted on September 1, 2011, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2014, and it was archived on October 8, 2014. The program falls under CFDA numbers 93.361 (Nursing Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), reflecting the cross cutting nature of the topic and the participating NIH components.
Eligibility is intentionally wide, covering many types of organizations that might conduct or support this kind of research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), state, county, city, township, and special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also explicitly includes faith-based and community-based organizations, U.S. territory or possession entities, and a range of minority-serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). In addition, foreign institutions are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy, which can be important for projects involving international populations or collaborations relevant to child and adolescent health behavior development.
