This initiative encourages research to develop and evaluate interventions that improve health outcomes across various demographic groups, particularly racial and ethnic minorities, underserved populations, and individuals facing significant barriers. Key aspects include the requirement for a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) to foster inclusivity throughout the research process, alongside a well-structured methodology that articulates the connection between proposed interventions and health outcomes. The grants will support various application types and allow for clinical trials, with NINR committing approximately $4 million for funding 4 to 6 awards in fiscal year 2024. The application process emphasizes strict adherence to guidelines, an early application submission to mitigate errors, and a pre-application webinar for potential applicants. Overall, this funding opportunity aims to bridge gaps between clinical practice and community needs, promoting a more integrated healthcare delivery system that addresses a broader spectrum of factors influencing health.
