| Healthy Aging through Behavioral Economic Analyses of Situations (R01) The National Institutes of Health requests applications related to The National Institutes of Health requests applications related to Healthy Aging through Behavioral Economic Analyses of Situations (R01). The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has amassed data which suggest that disability associated with older age is higher in the U.S. than in other similar countries. It is suspected that the increasing prevalence of unhealthy behavior is responsible for those conclusions. It is likely that a high proportion of premature deaths in the U.S. are caused by modifiable behavior patterns. The NIA is interested in receiving proposals in the area of behavior economics, a field that is concerned with understanding how human social, cognitive, and emotional factors affect economic decisions. An element of behavior economics of major interest to the NIA is learning how economic decisions that people make affect their health. For example the kinds of foods they purchase and consume that promote excess body weight and accompanying chronic diseases. Deadline: November 2, 2009. Read more... |

| Understanding the Role of Nonchemical Stressors and Developing Analytic Methods for Cumulative Risk Assessments
The U.S. EPA, as part of its Science to Achieve Results, is seeking applications from interdisciplinary teams to address research needs that currently limit the ability to conduct cumulative risk assessments. Exposure to different combinations of environmental stressors can contribute to increased risk for negative health consequences.

| Novel Approaches to Improving Air Pollution Emissions Information The EPA's Office of Research and Development, National Center for Environmental Research, in cooperation with the EPA Clean Air Research Program, announces an extramural funding competition supporting research into the development and improvement of air pollution emission inventories. EPA is interested in supporting research that will advance scientific understanding leading to improvements in air pollution emissions information since emission inventories are relied on both to develop effective control strategies and reliable information about air quality trends for accountability, and to help produce accurate air quality forecasts. This solicitation seeks to support research that will build on past improvements and strengthen the understanding of air pollution sources and how they affect current and near-term future air quality. Development of better emissions inventories is an iterative process requiring work with atmospheric measurements, source characterizations, and numerical modeling analyses; hence, all these techniques have been used to improve emission inventories.

| Improving Diet and Physical Activity Assessment: National Institute on Aging, in conjunction with several other NIH agencies Diet and physical activity are lifestyle and behavioral factors that play a role in the etiology and prevention of many chronic diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Both also play roles in preventing overweight/obesity and in maintaining weight loss. Therefore, diet and physical activity are assessed for both surveillance and epidemiologic/clinical research purposes. The measurement of usual dietary intake or physical activity over varying time periods or in the past, by necessity, has relied on self-report instruments. Such subjective reporting instruments are cognitively difficult for respondents, and are prone to considerable measurement errors that may vary among population subgroups and depend on the time frame considered and the characteristics of the respondents. Letters of Intent Receipt Dates (new applications): January 5, 2007; September 5, 2007; May 5, 2008; January 5, 2009. Letters of Intent Receipt Dates (renewal, resubmission, and revised applications): February 5, 2007; October 5, 2007; June 5, 2008; February 5, 2009. |
