Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications to study cost-effectiveness of interventions that will improve health outcomes. The focus on the use of cost-effectiveness analysis is necessary in order to expand the knowledge base, increase awareness of the value of cost-effectiveness utilization, and to identify the next steps for incorporating cost-effectiveness analysis into translational research and patient-focused interventions pertinent to health-related quality of life. In addition to interest in cost-effectiveness analyses affiliated with acute and chronic health problems, this FOA is especially interested in applications that focus on the science areas of quality of life (self-management and symptom management) health promotion/disease prevention, as well as studies using new technologies and improving research methods. This FOA builds on a cost-effectiveness workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and The Johns Hopkins University in 2004 and a subsequent cost-effectiveness workshop sponsored by NINR and the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) in 2008. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NINR expects to commit up to $2 Million funding 3 to 4 projects. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the projects that are proposed. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
