This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) establishes an accelerated review/award process to support time-sensitive research to evaluate a new policy or program that is likely to influence obesity related behaviours (e.g., dietary intake, physical activity, or sedentary behaviour) and/or weight outcomes in an effort to prevent or reduce obesity.
This FOA is intended to support research where opportunities for empirical study are, by their very nature, only available through expedited review and funding.
- This opportunity uses the R01 Research Project Grant funding mechanism.
- Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number: PAR-18-854
Funding & Duration

Eligibility
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply.

However, administrative requirements and other unforeseen circumstances may delay issuance dates beyond that timeline.
