Details:
This initiative will support research projects to develop and test prospective community-level interventions to improve minority health and decrease health disparities. Community-level intervention projects are expected to have the following features:
- Are led by or conducted in collaboration and full partnership with appropriate community partners, such as community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, local businesses, neighborhood associations, labor unions, patient or consumer advocacy groups, public health departments, healthcare systems, school systems, law enforcement or criminal justice agencies, social service agencies, or departments of commerce, labor, transportation, housing, recreation. Multi-sectoral collaborations involving partnerships with multiple types of organizations in the public and private sector are strongly encouraged.
- Are focused on improving health outcomes or reducing health disparities in one or more NIH-designated health disparity populations in the US.
- Are focused on the entire population in communities (e.g., an intervention to increase the availability of fresh produce or walkable green spaces) or a specific population within communities (e.g., an intervention to improve physical activity among high school students or older adults within the community).
- Are guided by a conceptual model identifying hypothesized pathways between the community-level intervention, community-level determinants, and health outcomes.
- Collect or obtain data beyond individual self-report to determine how the intervention is impacting community-level determinants of health.
- Are supported by relevant preliminary data. It is not required for the community-level intervention to have been pilot tested in multiple communities.
- Prospectively test the impact of interventions on self-reported or measured health outcomes. Retrospective analysis of existing or past community-level interventions or initiatives are not responsive to this initiative.
- Include health outcomes at the individual, interpersonal/organizational, or community level, or a combination.
- Use appropriate measures and analytic methods appropriate for examining community-level mechanisms of action and health outcomes.
- Test interventions that have the potential to be sustainable in the community after project funding is over.
