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
