Subject: Limited Eligibility: 2022 CDC Special Interest Projects (SIPs)
Importance: High
Good afternoon, and Happy New Year! Please share this information to those in your Center who might be interested to apply. Thanks! MBE
The RFA for the 2022 Special Interest Projects has posted. For the full RFA, go to grants.gov<http://www.grants.gov/> and search keyword RFA-DP-22-003. {Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers: 2022 Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPS) RFA-DP-22-003}
Eligibility is limited to 1 application per project per each of 26 CDC-designated Prevention Research Centers. Applications will be administered through the UAB PRC, the Center for the Study of Community Health.
The application due date is 03/04/2022.
Please respond to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ASAP if you are interested to apply.
Health topics and the associated SIPs (a brief description of each SIP is below):
* Cancer and Adolescents: 22-001
* Cancer and Health Care Access and Quality: 22-002
* Children with Disabilities and Care Access and Quality: 22-003
* People with Disabilities and Mental Health and Mental Disorders: 22-004
* Environmental Health and Emergency Preparedness: 22-005
* Older Adults and Dementia: 22-006
* Women, Emergency Preparedness, and Health Care Access and Quality: 22-007
SIP 22-001: Process, Outcome, and Cost Evaluation of Free Sunscreen Dispensers in Outdoor Community Settings This project will help to fill research gaps on the impact of free sunscreen dispensers on sun safety knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Findings from this project will help to inform best practices for future community-level skin cancer prevention efforts, including work being done by CDC-funded Comprehensive Cancer Control programs.
SIP 22-002: Electronic Health Record Study to Examine Factors and Diagnostic Pathways that Facilitate Early Ovarian Cancer Diagnoses
This project will contribute to the evidence base for recommendations and best practices that clinicians and health care systems might use in identifying ovarian cancers earlier. Shifting the majority of ovarian cancer cases to earlier stages at diagnosis may lead to significant population-based increases in survival.
SIP 22-003: Improving and evaluating measures to identify tics and tic disorders including Tourette syndrome in children in epidemiologic studies and clinical settings
This project will help to (a) Improve early identification and treatment of tics to improve outcomes among people with tic disorders and co-occurring conditions; and (b) Improve how tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome (TS), are defined and measured to improve our understanding of how many people have TS, particularly among minority and underserved populations through testing and evaluating the use and accuracy of measures to identify tics and tic disorders in a demographically diverse sample of children from the general population. Improved measures can improve epidemiologic and surveillance work to better understand the prevalence of tic disorders including Tourette syndrome. If available accurate tic screeners could improve the identification and referral for treatment not only for tic disorders including TS, but also might improve identification of common mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Early identification and treatment may lead to improved outcomes among children with these disorders.
SIP 22-004: Disability and Health Data Collaborative: Using Data to Promote the Health and Wellness of People with Disabilities
This project will allow for improved characterization and evaluation of the health and wellness of people with disabilities. Improving access to disability data will provide an evidence-base for informed health care policy and resource allocation. Over time, increased data linkages and collaborators may use this resource to evaluate interventions designed to improve the health and well-being of people with disabilities, particularly if implemented early in the life course with the aim of promoting positive adult outcomes.
SIP 22-005: Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE): Enhancing Practical Guidance to Support Climate and Health Adaptation Planning
This project would improve the utility of the BRACE conceptual framework, by providing expanded and enhanced guidance, resources, and tools to empower communities to prepare for climate change, and address hazards such as heat waves, flooding events, and vector-borne disease. This will particularly help disproportionately impacted communities directly experiencing the inequitable health impacts of climate change. An improved BRACE package will also enhance the technical assistance Climate and Health Program (CHP) is able to provide to Climate-Ready States and Cities Initiative (CRSCI) grant recipients and other partners.
SIP 22-006: Dementia Risk Reduction Research Network – Collaborating Centers
This project will fund the Dementia Risk Reduction Research Network, a national network of academic, public health, and community partners that will improve interventions and management for people at increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden of ADRD, especially for populations disproportionately impacted.
SIP 22-007: COVID-19 and Women: An Assessment of Challenges and Lessons Learned to Enhance Public Health Emergency Preparedness for Women and Families
This project seeks to obtain unique insights from women to help federal entities, stakeholder organizations, and local, statewide, and tribal communities develop effective preparedness and response plans and implement mitigation strategies to reach women and families put at increased risk in public health emergencies.
