About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applicants for the Model Continuums of Care Initiative (MCCI) to Advance Health Equity and End Health Disparities Among Women and Girls in Racial/Ethnic Minority and Other Underserved Communities. This U34 cooperative agreement opportunity aims to support the planning phase of an initiative that will apply dissemination and implementation science approaches to reduce multi-morbidity among racial/ethnic minority women and girls of reproductive age (15-44 years) who are at risk or living with conditions such as mental health disorders, substance use disorders, chronic stress, cardiopulmonary diseases, metabolic disorders, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. The initiative emphasizes stakeholder partnerships, provider training, and infrastructure changes to improve access to integrated, high-quality care for underserved populations, particularly those in low-resource settings. Applications are due by February 19, 2025.
The anticipated funding for this opportunity is not specified, but recent awards under the related grant programs have ranged from approximately $50,000 to over $14 million. Research activities are expected to be conducted at the facilities of the recipient organizations across the United States.
Synopsis
The purpose of this NOFO is to support the planning phase of the Model Continuums of Care Initiative (MCCI) to Advance Health Equity and End Health Disparities Among Women and Girls in Racial/Ethnic Minority and Other Underserved Communities. MCCI is a multi-ICO dissemination and implementation science initiative to advance health equity and end health disparities in racial/ethnic minority women and girls of reproductive age. Specifically, the Model Continuums of Care Initiative will apply the latest dissemination and implementationscience approaches to significantly reduce the prevalence and impact of multi-morbidity among racial/ethnic minority women and girls of reproductive age at risk and living with mental health disorders, substance use disorders, chronic stress, cardiopulmonary diseases, common metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes), cancer, and HIV/AIDS. This concept proposes a continuum of care approach that integrates preventive health services, primary care, behavioral health, integrative care, and cardiopulmonary and endocrine specialties to fully address health care needs in each of these domains, and to have maximum impact on the overall health and well-being ofracial and ethnic minority and other underserved women and girls. While MCCI is not a maternal health initiative, women and girls ages 15-44 yrs. are centered because it is during the early reproductive period, i.e., adolescence, that multimorbidity typically begins and rapidly progresses, setting the stage for multiple chronic debilitating conditions in later life. Special emphasis will be placed on using stakeholder partnerships, provider training, and infrastructure changes to improve access for subgroups of racial/ethnic minority women and girls who currently have the least access to high quality health care (e.g., racial/ethnic minority women and girls living in low resource settings).
