Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes and Reduce Health Disparities in Rural Populations (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) intends to publish a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to support research that seeks to develop, adapt, and/or evaluate social determinants of health (SDOH) interventions, or test strategies for the implementation of SDOH interventions already shown to be effective in rural populations. The goal of this funding opportunity is to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities in rural populations. The research must address SDOH in the development, adaptation, implementation, or evaluation of interventions. Some key aspects of this opportunity include: • Developing, adapting, and/or evaluating SDOH interventions • Testing strategies for the implementation of SDOH interventions • Addressing SDOH in the development, adaptation, implementation, or evaluation of interventions • Including an organizational-, community-, or population-level SDOH intervention • Considering individual- or interpersonal-level interventions as part of a multi-level intervention or intervention bundle
