Development in Comparative Effectiveness Research
CFDA: 93.701
(National Appropriation: $10,000,000.00)
Application Due Date: 02/26/2010
Description: This NIH Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH and AHRQ
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ('Recovery
Act" or "ARRA"), Public Law 111-5, invites applications to enhance,
develop, or evaluate methodologies to improve the efficiency,
validity, and credibility of comparative effectiveness research
(CER) studies. CER encompasses a wide array of methodologies,
including technology assessment, meta-analysis, systematic reviews,
observational studies, and experimental trials. Each of these
methodologies suffers from substantial weaknesses that limit their
ability to rapidly provide information sought by patients,
clinicians, and other stakeholders to make robust evidence-based
decisions on clinical practice and public policy. Research is needed
to develop better methods for measuring or reducing these
weaknesses, which include, for example, confounding bias in
observational studies and selection bias in randomized trials. For
the purposes of this FOA, the definition of comparative
effectiveness research will adhere to that adopted by the Federal
Coordinating Council given at
http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/programs/cer/cerannualrpt.pdf
Comparative effectiveness research is the conduct and synthesis of
research comparing the benefits and harms of different interventions
and strategies to prevent, diagnose, treat and monitor health
conditions in "real world" settings. The purpose of this research is
to improve health outcomes by developing and disseminating
evidence-based information to patients, clinicians, and other
decision-makers, responding to their expressed needs, about which
interventions are most effective for which patients under specific
circumstances.

Directors Opportunity for Research in Five Thematic Areas (RC4)
CFDA: 93.701
(National Appropriation: $80,000,000.00)
Application Due Date: 03/15/2010
Description: The NIH has received new funds
for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2009 and 2010 as part of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA). This
is one of a number of NIH initiatives related to the Recovery Act.
These are listed at the following site:
http://grants.nih.gov/recovery/. Under the Recovery Act,
the NIH has established a program entitled NIH Directors Opportunity
for Research in Five Thematic Areas. This program will support
projects that address research endeavors in specific areas that will
benefit from significant three-year funds without the expectation of
continued NIH funding beyond this period. The research supported by
the program should have high short-term impact, and a high
likelihood of enabling growth and investment in biomedical research
and development, public health, and health care delivery. Purpose.
This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds
provided to the NIH under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA), Public Law 111-5, solicits through
this limited competition applications from domestic (United States)
institutions/organizations proposing to develop and implement
critical research innovations in one or more of the following five
thematic areas: Applying Genomics and Other High Throughput
Technologies Translating Basic Science Discoveries into New and
Better Treatments Using Science to Enable Health Care Reform
Focusing on Global Health Reinvigorating the Biomedical Research

Effectiveness Research: Pilot Research (RC4)
CFDA: 93.701
(National Appropriation: $10,000,000.00)
Application Due Date: 03/19/2010
Description: This NIH Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH and AHRQ
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act or ARRA), Public Law 111-5, invites applications to study how
the principles of behavioral economics could be used to enhance the
uptake of the results of comparative effectiveness research (CER)
among health care providers in their practice. (For this FOA,
applications should be thought of as large pilot or preliminary
studies rather than definitive trials.) This funding opportunity
seeks applications that will investigate whether the principles of
behavioral economics could be used to enhance the uptake of the
results CER among health care providers and also enhance the
maintenance of such treatments in patient populations. Research to
foster the uptake of CER is seen to be necessary given the
surprisingly modest behavioral response of health care providers and
health care systems to information concerning treatments or
procedures judged to be superior in CER trials. An additional
possible benefit is that some behavioral economic interventions to
promote the uptake of CER could be far more cost effective than
other approaches including some pay for performance schemes (P4P).
For the purposes of this FOA, the definition of comparative
effectiveness research will adhere to that adopted by the Federal
Coordinating Council given at
http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/programs/cer/cerannualrpt.pdf.
Behavioral economics refers to the interdisciplinary efforts
involving cognitive and social psychologists, decision scientists,
and other social scientists together with economists to model
economic decision-making and consequent actions. The approach is
inclusive, since at its heart it tries to take into account what is
known about how people actually make behavioral decisions rather
than relying on the assumption that economic agents are
fundamentally rational in the sense of expected utility theory (see,
e.g.,Kahneman and Tverskys (1979) work on Prospect Theory and
Kahnemans (2003) Nobel lecture). It is hoped that this line of
research will lead to significantly greater understanding of the
adoption of CER by health care providers and therefore enhance the
quality of the nations health.

Description: This NIH Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH and AHRQ

Purpose. This NIH Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH under the
American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA),
Public Law 111-5, invites new applications from single domestic
institutions, or consortia of institutions, to participate in
creating a network of human immunology profiling research groups.
Applications are sought that propose to study human immune responses
(1) following infection, (2) prior to and following vaccination
against an infectious disease, or (3) prior to and following
treatment with an immune adjuvant that targets a known innate immune
receptor(s). The purpose of this FOA is to capitalize on recent
advances in immune profiling to measure the diversity of human
immune responses under a variety of conditions, using bioinformatic,
multiplex, and/or systems biology approaches to study samples from
well-characterized human cohorts and to measure aspects of the human
transcriptome and/or proteome. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will
utilize the U01 and U19 cooperative agreement grant mechanisms.
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIAID intends
to commit approximately $20 million in total costs (direct plus
indirect costs) in fiscal year 2010, which includes support for an
Infrastructure and Opportunities Fund of up to $2 million total
costs in year one and up to $5 million total costs in years two
through five. The Infrastructure and Opportunities Fund will support
consortium infrastructure, collaborative projects, pilot projects,
and new research opportunities that arise post-award. Recovery Act
funds will be used to support this FOA in fiscal year 2010 only; the
NIAID will provide funds for four future years (FY 2011-2014). The
NIAID anticipates that 6-10 awards will be made for fiscal year
2010, pending the number and quality of applications and the
availability of funds.
