About this opportunity
This funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health seeks to develop medical technologies that reduce health disparities. Applicants must propose devices, imaging systems, biomaterials or other technologies that are effective, affordable, culturally acceptable and accessible for underserved populations. Funded projects will partner with healthcare providers serving groups with health inequities. Applications will be evaluated based on the significance of reducing the targeted disparity, study design and innovation of the proposed technology. The deadline for submissions is May 2, 2025.
Award amounts will be determined based on the proposed scope of work but are intended to support applied research and development activities. Successful applicants are expected to perform work in a variety of settings including universities, hospitals and healthcare facilities that treat minority populations or communities facing health disparities.
Synopsis
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to reduce health disparities through the development and translation of appropriate medical technologies. The NIH defines health disparities as differences in the incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and burden of diseases and other adverse health outcomes that exist among specific population groups. These population groups include racial and ethnic minorities (African Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other U.S. Pacific Islanders, as well as subpopulations of all of these racial/ethnic groups), socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals, sexual and gender minorities, and medically underserved populations including individuals residing in rural and urban areas (see https://www.nimhd/nih.gov/about/overview/). This program seeks advances in medical technologies to reduce health disparities associated with diseases, illnesses, and conditions of public health importance. This announcement encourages applications to develop medical devices, imaging systems, robotic systems, biomaterial interfaces, synthetic biological systems, mathematical and modeling solutions, and other technologies to address the healthcare needs of populations that experience health disparities. Proposed medical technologies must have the following basic characteristics: effective, affordable, culturally acceptable, and easily accessible to those who need them. Responsive grant applications will involve a formal collaboration with a healthcare organization or public health agency serving one or more populations that experience health disparities.
