    The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute on Aging (NIA), has announced a funding opportunity for short courses focused on utilizing the NIH Stage Model to develop behavioral interventions aimed at promoting healthy aging. This initiative, under the R25 Education Projects, invites applications for educational activities that enhance understanding of biomedical and behavioral research relevant to older adults. Key objectives include creating a short course curriculum that facilitates skills development across six stages of intervention—ranging from basic behavioral science to dissemination and implementation research. The curriculum must cover essential topics, such as understanding the NIH Stage Model, mechanisms of behavior change, and evaluating intervention fidelity. The program aims to enhance participants' abilities to develop effective, evidence-based interventions that are culturally competent and scalable. With an anticipated funding of $756,000 for FY 2025, the NIH seeks to support up to two research education awards, emphasizing the importance of diversity in participant recruitment. Proposals must demonstrate a commitment to fostering an inclusive research environment and include a robust evaluation and dissemination plan for the short courses developed. The primary goal is to equip researchers with essential skills to contribute to the growing field of behavioral intervention research for healthy aging.
