Research Collaboration Network in Structural Racism Measurement and Modeling
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications to form an interdisciplinary network of scholars from a variety of disciplines to collaborate with each other in the measurement and modeling of structural racism to facilitate research on life course health and aging.
Applicants should propose activities that include the following:
- Expansion of structural racism measures and methods through input from the broader research community and development of a publicly available data repository for use by researchers, community members, and policy makers through a data portal to facilitate research on life course health and aging.
- Support of activities that bring together scholars in the behavioral/sciences, humanities, education, political science, and the public health sciences to improve measurement and methods for the study of structural racism in life course health and aging research.
- Engagement with national and international scientific organizations to promote further advances in measurement and methods of structural racism in research on life course health and aging.
- Pilot projects on measurement and methods of structural racism in life course health and aging research, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches from the behavioral/social sciences, humanities, education, and political science with the public health sciences.
- Collaboration with NIA Centers and other NIA research networks on measurement and methods for the study of structural racism.
- Serving as a central resource for the organization of meetings and other educational activities (e.g., intensive summer institutes, series of workshops, advanced seminars on methodology, or short-term residential opportunities) on measures and methods of structural racism for aging research.

Research Opportunities for New and “At-Risk” Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits R01 grant applications that propose independent research projects that are within the scientific mission areas of the participating NIH Institutes or Centers. This program is intended to support New Investigators and At-Risk Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the health-related sciences. Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups (e.g., see NOT-OD-20-031, Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity), are encouraged to work with their institutions to apply for support under this program. Investigators from categories A and B are particularly encouraged to work with their institutions to apply.

Advancing Healthcare for Older Adults from Populations that Experience Health Disparities (R01 – Clinical Trial Optional)
The purpose of this initiative is to advance the science and implementation of innovative multi-level health care research for older adults from populations that experience health disparities. The initiative will support research designed to (1) gain a better understanding of appropriate screening, diagnostic, and clinical care guidelines in a primary care setting, (2) explore shared decision-making that is needed to enhance care planning and patient agency between clinicians and care teams with the older adult and their caregiver(s), and (3) identify effective strategies for care coordination.
