Grant Description

Purpose. This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Aging and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to advance the application of well-being measurement to the integrated study of experienced and evaluative well-being in aging-relevant contexts. This FOA is intended to capitalize on recent advances in (a) approaches to measurement of both experienced well-being (e.g. reports of momentary positive and rewarding, or negative and distressing states) and evaluative well-being (e.g., cognitive judgments of overall life satisfaction or dissatisfaction); (b) understanding of psychological changes associated with aging that might impact these experiences and evaluations; and (c) global interest in well-being measurement as a critical index of the success or failure of economic, social and health policies. This FOA solicits applications from interdisciplinary teams including behavioral scientists, psychologists, sociologists, biomedical researchers, economists and population scientists to explore which aspects of experienced and evaluative well-being, time use, and context promote or impede healthy aging; to enhance measurement of these factors in both laboratory and survey environments; and to identify modifiable factors in individuals or societies that might be potential targets for intervention. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The National Institute on Aging intends to commit $5,000,000 in total costs over the project period for use under this FOA. In addition, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine intends to commit $1,000,000 in total costs over the project period to support projects that are relevant to NCCAMs mission. We anticipate that 3-6 awards will be made for Fiscal Year 2011, pending the number and quality of applications and availability of funds. For this funding opportunity, budgets up to $350,000 directed costs per year and time periods up to five years may be requested.
