National Science Foundation Incorporating Human Behavior in Epidemiological Models (IHBEM)
Current epidemiological models have proved insufficient to understanding the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, due to human behavioral and social processes that are missing from the models.
These processes include structural characteristics such as differential living conditions and patterns of social interaction, and behavioral characteristics such as responsiveness to incentives and information by different segments of the population.
As a result, the mathematical models and, tools for model analyses and simulations that were developed to respond to the pandemic were not as effective or useful as they could have been.
The IHBEM program is motivated by the urgent need to provide more reliable modeling tools to inform decision making and to evaluate public health policies during pandemics and other public health crises, with the premise that important advances may be made by incorporating human behavioral and social processes in mathematical epidemiological models.
The goal of this program is to minimize unintended outcomes of public health interventions.
Deadline for applications: Submission window: April 3 - April 14, 2023

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Interest in Research on Climate Change and Healthcare
AHRQ has a special interest in receiving health services research grant applications that address the intersection of climate change and healthcare. Applications that address the following areas are of heightened interest:
- Reducing the healthcare sector’s greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint.
- Creating resilient healthcare systems and communities that can plan, prepare, respond, and adapt to climate-related threats.
- Addressing the inequitable impacts of climate change.
Climate change is the leading threat to public health, contributing to both individual health problems and broader disruptions to vital infrastructure and the healthcare system.
The healthcare industry is not only a responder to climate events, but a significant contributor to climate change through its emissions.
Research and action are needed on both fronts and must be guided by an equity lens that prioritizes protecting and empowering individuals and communities that face the highest risks and bear the highest burdens of environmental pollution and a changing climate.
Applications in these areas are being accepted through multiple programs.
Deadline for applications: varies based on program

Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU)
ORAU’s FY 2023 Innovation Partnerships Program (formerly Events Sponsorship Grant Program) is being restructured. The goal of this grant program change is to drive new opportunities for university consortium members and ORAU experts to formulate meaningful collaborations. Applications must be focused on one or more of the FY2023 ORAU core focus areas:
- Climate and Environment
- Health Equity
- Future of STEM Workforce
Innovation Partnership applications should focus on focused workshops/conferences that highlight your university’s strategic STEM research and education growth areas, and where collaborations with other member universities would add value.
We are specifically interested in events that can bring more thought leadership in building a national strategy for STEM education and workforce development.
Applications accepted anytime

Substance Use Prevention Services in Primary Care Challenge
The United States is experiencing a significant behavioral health crisis, putting substantial strain on the health care system.
Primary care practices are one potential setting in which to address this crisis, but primary care providers (PCPs) face substantial barriers in identifying individuals who may be at risk for substance use and delivering evidence-based prevention interventions to reduce the risk for use.
This Challenge seeks creative, visionary, and actionable plans to implement substance use prevention interventions in primary care. Winners will receive prizes of up to $25,000, and NIDA encourages the winners to utilize the awards to support the implementation of substance use prevention services in those primary care practices.
Open until: 5/19/23

Safe Learning-Enabled Systems
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems rapidly increase in size, acquire new capabilities, and are deployed in high-stakes settings, their safety becomes extremely important.
Ensuring system safety requires more than improving accuracy, efficiency, and scalability: it requires ensuring that systems are robust to extreme events, and monitoring them for anomalous and unsafe behavior.
Deadline: 5/26/2023

Leveraging Big Data Science to Elucidate the Mechanisms of HIV Activity and Interaction with Substance Use Disorder (R01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research using data science and computational approaches to generate new insights into mechanisms and consequences of the interaction of HIV and addictive drugs.
The development and application of novel computational, bioinformatic, statistical, and analytical approaches to mine big data sets will advance knowledge of the effects of addictive drugs on viral activity, latency, and disease progression, as well as new aspects of addiction biology.
AIDS Deadline: 8/10/2023

Formative and Pilot Intervention Research to Optimize HIV Prevention and Care Continuum Outcomes (R34 Clinical Trial Optional)
The NIMH invites applications for Research Project Grants (R34) that propose formative research, intervention development, and pilot-testing of interventions; formative implementation research to inform adaptation of evidence-based interventions; or development or selection of implementation strategies.
Primary scientific areas of focus include the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of novel or adapted interventions that target HIV prevention or treatment, or implementation outcomes using implementation science approaches.
For the purposes of this FOA, “intervention” is defined to include behavioral, social, or structural approaches, as well as combination biomedical and behavioral, social, or structural approaches that improve HIV prevention or treatment outcomes.

Biodiversity on a Changing Planet (BoCP)
The biodiversity found in nature is essential for healthy ecosystems and human well-being. However, the disruption and decline of Earth’s biodiversity is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate.
The resulting shifts in biodiversity dynamics-- including changes in the scope and structure of biodiversity-- are increasingly significant but not well-understood.
Shifting biodiversity dynamics in turn influence functional biodiversity, which includes the roles of traits, organisms, species, communities, and ecosystem processes in natural systems.
Changes in biodiversity dynamics and functional biodiversity are essential factors for future planetary resilience under environmental change, including climate change.
Deadline: 3/29/2023

Research to Action: Assessing and Addressing Community Exposures to Environmental Contaminants (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages multidisciplinary projects to investigate the potential health risks of environmental exposures of concern to a community and to develop and implement an environmental public health action plan based on research findings.
Projects supported under this program will employ community-engaged research methods to conduct research and to translate research findings into public health action.
Deadline: 6/5/2023
