Opportunity Summary:

The NIH funding opportunity titled "Research on Mind Body Interactions and Health (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-046) supports research that examines how mental and social factors connect to physical health outcomes. In this context, "mind body interactions" focuses on the relationships among cognitions (how people think and interpret experiences), emotions, personality, and social relationships, and how these factors influence health, disease risk, disability, and recovery. The program is set up to fund work that clarifies the underlying processes behind these interactions and then uses that knowledge to improve interventions and clinical practice aimed at promoting health and preventing or treating disease and disability.

A major theme of the opportunity is interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. NIH is encouraging applications that bring together different fields to move beyond simple associations and toward clearer explanations of mechanisms and pathways. This can include basic and applied research that helps explain how psychological and social experiences translate into measurable biological or clinical outcomes, as well as research that uses those insights to design, refine, or test interventions that could be used in real-world clinical or community settings. In practical terms, the announcement is meant to support studies that connect mind and behavior with health in a way that is scientifically rigorous and clinically meaningful.

The award uses the NIH R01 grant mechanism, which is the standard NIH support mechanism for investigator-initiated research projects. The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant program and falls under broad activity areas that include education, environment, health, income security, and social services. It also aligns with multiple NIH program areas and Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of mind body research. The CFDA programs referenced include oral diseases and disorders research (93.121), complementary and integrative health research and training (93.213), mental health research grants (93.242), alcohol research (93.273), drug abuse and addiction research (93.279), cancer control (93.399), cardiovascular diseases research (93.837), child health and human development research (93.865), and aging research (93.866). This range signals that NIH is interested in mind body interaction research as it relates to many diseases and life stages rather than a single condition or population.

Eligibility is broad. Applicants may include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments) are also eligible. Importantly, foreign institutions are eligible to apply, which opens the opportunity to researchers and institutions outside the United States when the proposed work aligns with the scientific goals of the announcement. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted on November 21, 2006, with a listed creation date of December 5, 2008. The application process used multiple receipt dates, meaning there was not a single one-time deadline but rather recurring submission opportunities according to NIH schedules described in the full announcement. The archive date is February 2, 2010, indicating the announcement is no longer active in its original form, but the text remains useful as a description of NIH priorities and the type of science NIH has sought to fund in this area.

For official details, the full announcement was hosted at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-07-046.html. NIH also provided support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), which is typical for legacy postings of funding announcements.
