PAR-25-378-Full-Announcement.html

This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announcement from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health for intervention research to improve Native American health (PAR-25-378). The funding supports research in four key areas: 1) etiologic research to inform intervention development, 2) development and testing of health promotion interventions, 3) testing of culturally-informed treatment interventions, and 4) research on implementation strategies for effective interventions. The opportunity is open to multiple applicant types including higher education institutions, tribal organizations, state/local governments, nonprofits, and small businesses.

The NOFO falls under multiple NIH research programs including Women's Health (93.313), Mental Health (93.242), Alcohol Research (93.273), Drug Use and Addiction (93.279), Environmental Health (93.113), Child Health (93.865), Nursing Research (93.361), Oral Health (93.121), Aging Research (93.866), and Complementary Health (93.213). The research must focus on Alaska Natives and American Indians, with emphasis on building upon community knowledge and resources while ensuring interventions are sustainable and adaptable. The goal is to address health inequities through culturally appropriate solutions that can be scaled to other communities.
