Research on Autism Spectrum Disorder
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); National
Institute of Health (NIH); The NIH supports research designed to
study the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and optimal
means of service delivery in relation to autism spectrum disorders
(ASD). Basic research into the pathophysiology of ASD, including

Modeling Social Behavior
National Institute of Health (NIH); This FOA encourages
applications for developing and testing innovative theories and
computational, mathematical, or engineering approaches to deepen
our understanding of complex social behavior. This research will
examine phenomena at multiple scales to address the emergence of
collective behaviors that arise from individual elements or parts of
a system working together. Often properties we associate with a
system itself are in actuality properties of the relationships and
interactions between a system and its environment. Proposals are
due February 5, June 5, and October 5, 2016. For more information,
visit Grant.nih.gov
Obesity Policy Evaluation Research

outcomes in an effort to prevent or reduce obesity. Examples might
include programs implemented at worksites, healthcare
organizations, after-school or summer programs. Not intended to

Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and
Reducing Health Disparities

solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S.
population. Health disparities between, on the one hand,

major public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in
and among three broad areas of action: 1) public policy, 2) health
care, and 3) disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is
given to reducing “health gaps” among groups. Proposals are due
February 5 and June 5, 2016. For more information, visit
