Summary: Obesity has become a major focus of public health efforts at the national, State, and local levels. The major focus of the Program Announcement (PA) is to solicit projects that enhance the state-of-the-science on the causes of obesity and to inform federal decision making on effective public health interventions for reducing the rate of obesity in the United States. Research strategies that nest economic analysis within a broader interdisciplinary context of other social and behavioral sciences as well as the epidemiological, bio-statistical, medical, and biological disciplines relevant to public health policy are especially encouraged.
This PA is intended to make funding opportunities in the area of energy balance (i.e., the relationship between diet, physical activity, and obesity) known to researchers with expertise and experience in health economics and health services research who might otherwise not be aware of the opportunity to apply these disciplines to this area. This PA also aims to foster collaborative activities between researchers from these disciplines and more traditional researchers of cancer and other chronic diseases. Research areas supported by this PA include: consumer economics, industrial organization, community structure, policy, cost-effectiveness/cost benefit studies. A multidisciplinary research approach that integrates economics research in one or more of these areas with knowledge and methodologies from other social and behavioral sciences, and/or with epidemiological and clinical research is strongly encouraged.
