Subject: FW: Interesting new NIH-NEA funding opportunity -- webinar 10/4
The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Institutes of Health will co-host a live webinar on Oct 4 from 3-4 pm ET on a new NIH funding opportunity that has a Dec 17 deadline: Basic social and behavioral research on culture, health, and wellbeing (R24). The funding opportunity can be accessed at http://1.usa.gov/RLTCEC
How does culture affect health-related beliefs and practices? Artists and arts organizations may help answer this question through a new funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health. This Request for Applications (RFA) will support research projects that bring together teams of social and behavioral researchers and arts and cultural experts to gain new insights into the relationships between culture and health. NEA co-hosts this webinar with the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research
(OBSSR) at the National Institutes of Health. Bill Elwood of OBSSR will present this grant announcement from the NIH Basic Behavioral and Social Science Opportunity Network (OppNet), a trans-NIH initiative that funds activities to build the collective body of knowledge about the nature of behavior and social systems. Also joining the webinar are several NIH program directors who serve as scientific contacts for the OppNET RFA. This is the first-time the NIH has embedded the arts into an OppNet RFA on the social sciences.
For more than a year, the NEA Interagency Task Force on the Arts and Human Development has brought together federal agencies – including the NIH – to promote more and better research on how the arts help people reach their full potential at all stages of life. This OppNet RFA aligns with the NEA Task force goals.
The NEA and the Interagency Task Force periodically host public webinars to share compelling research, practices, and/or funding opportunities for research in the arts and human development. Task Force members include representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the U.S.
Department of Education, and other agencies and departments. More information on the Task Force can be found at http://1.usa.gov/RcSZYz
