Forecast to Publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement for Addressing Determinants of Health Disparities Among Rural Populations (R01 - Clinical Trial Optional)

Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is forecasting the publication of a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under grant mechanism R01 (Clinical Trial Optional) to address determinants of health disparities among rural populations. This is a pre-announcement forecast, meaning the full opportunity details — including eligibility, award amounts, and deadlines — have not yet been published. The R01 mechanism is a standard NIH research project grant supporting discrete, specified, circumscribed projects in areas representing the investigator's interests and competencies. The focus is on identifying and addressing root causes (determinants) of health disparities specific to rural communities.
