The National Institutes of Health (NIH) 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.
Donor Name: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: (mm/dd/yyyy) 10/17/2024
Size of the Grant: $500,000 to $1 million
Grant Duration: 5 Years
Details:
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.
The purpose of this NOFO is to build collaborations between public health sciences and fields not traditionally included in the health sciences in the operationalization of structural racism. Specifically, this NOFO encourages experts from these fields to collaborate with each other in a formalized network to improve measures and methods intended to advance structural racism research in aging and life course health through activities including but not limited to:
- Building a publicly available data repository
- Supporting interactive multidisciplinary science development activities to improve measures and methods
- Engaging with international and national scientific organizations to expand the network of experts
- Piloting projects in the measurement and modeling of structural racism in aging research
- Leveraging existing NIA Centers and networks
- Serving as a central resource for the dissemination of methods/measures and related educational activities.
