Due Dates: July 1, 2026 (estimated, forecasted)
Funding Amounts: Not specified; single award expected; duration and ceiling not disclosed (forecasted).
Summary: Supports the continuation and completion of the POWERS study to investigate physiological processes underlying individual variability in weight regain after weight loss.
Key Information: Single source competition is restricted to the University of Pittsburgh.
Description
This opportunity supports the continuation of the Physiology of the Weight Reduced State (POWERS) study. The primary goal is to enable the completion of the ongoing clinical trial and subsequent analysis of data and biospecimens, advancing understanding of the physiological mechanisms that contribute to individual variability in weight regain following weight loss. The funding is intended to ensure the finalization of the study and to maximize the scientific value of its findings.
