Funding Opportunities
The Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) announces the availability of administrative supplements (NOT-OD-20-048) to support research highlighting health disparities among women in the U.S. who are underrepresented, understudied and underreported (U3) in biomedical research. The proposed research must address at least one objective from the strategic goals 1, 2, or 3 of the 2019-2023 Trans-NIH Strategic Plan for Women's Health Research "Advancing Science for the Health of Women."
The CDC issued RFA-CD20-2001 Strengthening the Nation's Public Health Communication Infrastructure to Respond to COVID-19. This program seeks to strengthen public health communication through real-time needs assessments that focus on health literacy, culture and diversity. The program will deploy health communication education and training to PIOs, PAOs and other communicators in state, county, local, tribal, and territorial health departments and will offer technical assistance to jurisdictions as needed to support their individual challenges. The program also seeks to enhance channels for the effective dissemination of critical and timely emergency communications in collaboration with the CDC, HHS and other partners.
