Description
This NIH R01 initiative supports multidisciplinary research on family health, well-being, and resilience to advance minority health and reduce health disparities. It funds observational and intervention studies in biomedical, clinical, population, behavioral, and social sciences, with or without clinical trials. Research should examine family-level risk and protective factors, rather than only the health of an individual patient.
Participating institutes include NIMHD, NIAAA, NINR, and NCI. Interests encompass family resilience under stress, chronic disease prevention and management, caregiving, cancer prevention and control, and alcohol misuse and recovery. The program encourages life-course perspectives, technology-supported interventions, and collaboration with community partners. Family includes nuclear, extended, blended, adopted, foster, and chosen families.
