PAR-25-312-Full-Announcement.html

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) outlines an accelerated review process for time-sensitive research evaluating new policies or programs affecting obesity-related behaviors and weight outcomes. The funding opportunity, PAR-25-312, is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health and supports research that requires expedited review due to unique, time-limited research opportunities. The grant spans three CFDA programs: Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (93.393), Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Research (93.847), and Child Health and Human Development Research (93.865).

The opportunity is open to a wide range of applicants including higher education institutions, government entities, tribal organizations, nonprofits, and small businesses. Selected applications are intended to be awarded within 4 months of the application due date, though delays may occur. The research must demonstrate that the evaluation opportunity is both scientifically compelling and time-sensitive, with resubmissions not being permitted under this NOFO. The focus areas include dietary intake, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and related weight outcomes in obesity prevention and reduction efforts.
