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

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

Design for Environmental Sustainability in Computing (DESC)
The goal of the Design for Environmental Sustainability in Computing (DESC) program is to address the substantial environmental impacts that computing has through its entire lifecycle from design and manufacturing, through deployment into operation, and finally into reuse, recycling, and disposal.
These impacts go well beyond commonly-considered measures of energy consumption at run-time and include greenhouse warming gas emissions (GHGs), depletion of scarce resources like rare earth elements, and the creation of toxic byproducts.
For instance, embodied energy, GHGs, and other harmful emissions from manufacturing computing systems can often be higher than the operational energy and resulting GHGs and harmful emissions systems will use and emit during their lifetime.
Data centers can directly impact local ecosystems through heat management practices, as well as impacting local power management and capacity.
Algorithmic, software, and workflow design choices; design of operating systems and middleware; and choices of programming languages and compilation can drive environmental impacts from provisioning, use, and effective lifetimes of computing.
Deadline: 3/17/2023

Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities in Environmental Health Sciences (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support novel environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data.
The primary motivation of the FOA is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad.
A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented.
Deadline: 4/3/2023
