Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR)

Behavioral and Social Sciences (Support from the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research): OBSSR will consider funding projects that facilitate the translation of research findings into effective interventions to prevent or treat disease with the aim of promoting and optimizing health. The work must incorporate basic or applied behavioral or social sciences (BSS) theory, research, principles, or strategies. Of particular interest are interdisciplinary research projects on factors that influence prevention and health outcomes. Research in which scientists and practitioners work together to accelerate the translation, implementation, dissemination of BSS research findings or that employ BSS theory or principles or evaluate BSS strategies or components are of high priority to OBSSR. The Office has strong interests in the development of behavioral interventions for prevention and health improvement, including studies in the areas of gene-environment interactions, adherence (at the patient and provider levels), behavior change and maintenance, measurement harmonization, areas of and causes of health outcome disparities, primary care, mobile health, and shared medical decision-making, among other areas.
