Opportunity Summary:
The Obesity Policy Evaluation Research (R01) funding opportunity (PA-13-110) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant program designed to support rigorous evaluations of large-scale policies or programs that are expected to affect obesity-related behaviors and outcomes. The central aim is to generate strong evidence on whether, how, and for whom broad policy or program changes influence dietary intake, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and/or body weight, with the long-term goal of preventing or reducing obesity at the population level. This announcement is oriented toward real-world, large-scale interventions and policy environments rather than small, tightly controlled clinical or laboratory studies, emphasizing the practical impact of upstream actions that can shift behaviors and weight outcomes across communities or entire populations.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which typically supports investigator-initiated research projects with clearly defined objectives, designs, and analytic plans. The FOA sits within NIH priorities that intersect nutrition, physical activity, chronic disease prevention, and public health, and it is listed across multiple CFDA program areas including Cancer Control (93.399), Cardiovascular Diseases Research (93.837), Diabetes/Digestive/Kidney Diseases Extramural Research (93.847), Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (93.865), and Aging Research (93.866). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligible applicants are broad and include many types of domestic and international organizations. U.S.-based eligible entities include public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), independent school districts, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Nonprofit organizations are eligible whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses) may also apply. The FOA also explicitly recognizes a wide range of mission-driven and community-rooted organizations as eligible, such as faith-based or community-based organizations, historically underserved and minority-serving institutions (for example, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISIs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and tribally controlled colleges and universities), and tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized). Importantly, non-U.S. entities are eligible as well: foreign organizations and foreign institutions may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed, supporting cross-national policy evaluation work when justified by the science and public health relevance.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on February 6, 2013, with an original and final closing date of May 7, 2016, and it was archived on June 7, 2016. While that means this specific announcement is no longer open, the description is still useful for understanding the kind of policy evaluation work NIH has sought to fund, and similar initiatives may appear in newer funding announcements under related NIH programs.
For applicants and readers seeking the full text, the announcement was made available through the NIH Grants Guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-110.html. Administrative support for access or technical issues was routed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) via the listed webmaster contact (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), reflecting that this is a formal NIH extramural funding opportunity.
