Description
This NIH opportunity funds innovative, interdisciplinary research teams to design and test clinical, health services, and community-based interventions targeting health and healthcare disparities related to non-communicable and chronic diseases (NCDs) in Latin America and among U.S. Hispanics/Latinos. Projects should address NCDs with the highest burden and mortality, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease, and mental/behavioral health conditions. The initiative emphasizes collaborations between U.S. and Latin American investigators, with the majority of research activities and budget devoted to Latin America-based institutions.
Research can include multicomponent or multilevel interventions, quasi-experimental studies, and clinical trials, including pragmatic and cluster-randomized designs. Comparative studies across multiple Latin American countries and/or U.S. Hispanic/Latino populations are encouraged. Projects must demonstrate meaningful partnerships with Latin American collaborators and include at least one principal investigator (PI) or multiple PI (MPI) from a Latin America-based institution.
Annual grantee meetings and ongoing coordination with NIH and other awardees are required.
