School-Based Interventions to Prevent Obesity (R21)
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development/NIH/DHHS offers support for the formation of partnerships between academic institutions and school systems in order to develop and implement controlled, school-based intervention strategies designed to reduce the prevalence of obesity in childhood. This program will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism.
OBJECTIVES:
This initiative encourages evaluative comparisons of different intervention strategies, as well as the use of methods to detect synergistic interactions between different types of interventions. Possible areas within the school system that might be targeted for controlled interventions include the content of school curricula, teaching methodologies, staff education, physical education programs, the school environment, school food service programs, food service worker education, content and availability of vending machine snacks in school, school administrators, and parents. Examples of research projects that would be responsive to this solicitation include, but are not limited to: curriculum changes designed to improve knowledge of healthy food choices and active lifestyles, and behavioral modification programs designed to attain healthy diets and active lifestyles. Specifically, this initiative encourages academic institutions and school systems to work together to develop and implement behavioral interventions designed to increase children's physical activity and/or decrease the amount of time that children devote to sedentary activities, such as watching television or playing computer games. Such interventions might involve curriculum changes or curriculum changes coupled with periods of increased physical activity, either before, during or after school. Interventions also might be designed to induce and maintain long-term behavioral change regarding eating habits, food choices, exercise habits, and lifestyle; evaluations of various controlled dietary interventions would also be responsive to this PA, for example, changes in school food service programs for school breakfast and/or school lunch. Intervention programs designed for parents who prepare their children's lunches would also be responsive.
ELIGIBILITY
Eligible applicants are: for-profit or non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of State and local governments; units of State and local Tribal government; eligible agencies of the Federal government; domestic or foreign institutions/organizations; and faith-based or community-based organizations.
