UNDERSTANDING AND PROMOTING HEALTH LITERACY (PAR-04-116)
LETTER OF INTENT RECEIPT DATE: September 13, 2004; September 13, 2005; September 13, 2006
APPLICATION RECEIPT DATE: October 13, 2004; October 13, 2005; October 13, 2006
The participating Institutes, Centers and Offices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) invite investigators to submit R01 research grant applications on health literacy. The goal of this Program Announcement is to increase scientific understanding of the nature of health literacy and its relationship to healthy behaviors, illness prevention and treatment, chronic disease management, health disparities, risk assessment of environmental factors, and health outcomes including mental and oral health. Increased scientific knowledge of interventions that can strengthen health literacy and improve the positive health impacts of communications between healthcare and public health professionals (including dentists, healthcare delivery organizations, and public health entities), and consumer or patient audiences that vary in health literacy, is needed. Such knowledge will help enable healthcare and public health systems serve individuals and populations more effectively, and employ strategies that reduce health disparities in the population.
The research must involve either: a) health literacy, or one of its many components, as a key outcome, b) health literacy as a key explanatory variable for some other outcome, c) methodological or technological improvement to strengthen research on health literacy, or d) health literacy-focused preventions and interventions.
This PA will use the NIH R01 award mechanism. As an applicant, you will be solely responsible for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. This PA uses just-in-time concepts. It also uses the modular budgeting format.

The participating Institutes, Centers and Offices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) invite investigators to submit R03 research grant applications on health literacy. The goal of this Program Announcement is to increase scientific understanding of the nature of health literacy and its relationship to healthy behaviors, illness prevention and treatment, chronic disease management, health disparities, risk assessment of environmental factors, and health outcomes including mental and oral health. Increased scientific knowledge of interventions that can strengthen health literacy and improve the positive health impacts of communications between healthcare and public health professionals (including dentists, healthcare delivery organizations, and public health entities), and consumer or patient audiences that vary in health literacy, is needed.
The research must involve either: a) health literacy, or one of its many components, as a key outcome, b) health literacy as a key explanatory variable for some other outcome, c) methodological or technological improvement to strengthen research on health literacy, or d) health literacy-focused preventions and interventions.
This PA will use the NIH R03 award mechanism. Examples of the types of projects that ICs support with the R03 include the following: pilot or feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and the development of new research technology. As an applicant, you will be solely responsible for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. A project period of up to two years and a budget for direct costs of up to two $25,000 modules or $50,000 per year may be requested.
