Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OD 17 005
The funding opportunity titled "Intensive Longitudinal Analysis of Health Behaviors: Leveraging New Technologies to Understand Health Behaviors (U24)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA OD 17 005) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement that supports the creation of a single Research Coordinating Center (RCC) for the Intensive Longitudinal Health Behaviors Initiative. The basic purpose of the RCC is to serve as the central organizing and technical hub for a network of collaborative research projects that collect and analyze intensive longitudinal data on health behaviors at the individual level. In practical terms, this initiative is focused on using newer technologies and modern analytic approaches to capture how health behaviors and their drivers change over time within people, rather than relying only on occasional surveys or traditional study designs that miss moment-to-moment variability.
A core emphasis of this opportunity is intensive longitudinal data collection, meaning frequent or near-continuous measurement over extended periods. This can include repeated self-reports and real-time assessments as well as data streams enabled by technology (for example, mobile tools, sensors, and other devices that can capture behavior, context, and related signals with high temporal resolution). The network is intended to study the factors that influence key health behaviors in ways that are sensitive to timing, context, and within-person dynamics, which can reveal patterns that are difficult to detect with less frequent measurement. Alongside generating new findings, the initiative aims to strengthen the broader scientific community by enabling the dissemination of data, as appropriate, so that other researchers can reuse, reanalyze, and build on shared resources.
Another major goal is advancing behavioral theory. The FOA highlights an interest in using the results from these intensive longitudinal studies to refine, extend, or introduce innovations into longstanding behavioral theories. The underlying idea is that better measurement of real-world behavior and context, combined with more sophisticated analytic methods, can test whether existing theories adequately explain behavior as it unfolds in daily life. Insights from the network are expected to contribute to the design of more effective, theory-driven behavior change interventions by improving the conceptual models that guide intervention development and evaluation.
The RCC itself is expected to coordinate the shared infrastructure and operations that make a research network function smoothly. This includes managing communications across participating projects, organizing meetings, and supporting network governance so that decisions about standards, priorities, timelines, and collaborative products are made efficiently and transparently. The RCC is also responsible for method-related coordination work such as developing or supporting harmonization of measures and analytic approaches across studies, enabling data integration across multiple projects, and facilitating data dissemination to the broader research community when appropriate. In other words, rather than funding a single research study, this award primarily funds the centralized coordination capacity needed to align multiple studies into a coherent initiative with shared practices and outputs.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the NIH and is categorized under Education and Health. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (U24), which typically indicates substantial scientific or programmatic involvement by the funding agency compared with a standard grant. The FOA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $300,000. The opportunity was created on March 22, 2017, with an original closing date of January 7, 2018. The listed CFDA numbers associated with the announcement include 93.242, 93.273, 93.279, 93.286, 93.393, and 93.399.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories as specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the announcement's additional eligibility information. Overall, the eligibility structure reflects the expectation that the coordinating center could be housed in a range of research-capable environments, including universities, research institutes, and other organizations with the operational capacity to manage network-scale coordination, data-related infrastructure, and cross-project collaboration.Apply for RFA OD 17 005
