NIH REQUESTS INPUT FOR BASIC BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH PRIORITIES BY FEBRUARY 19:
OPPNET HAS JUST RELEASED A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) IN THE NIH GUIDE.  WE NEED BROAD INPUT FROM OUR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COMMUNITIES ON CURRENT AND EMERGING PRIORITIES IN BASIC BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH (B-BSSR).   WE INVITE ALL INTERESTED RESEARCHERS TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS.  SIMPLY VISIT HTTP://BBSSRRESPONSE.COM AND BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE, 

  • A HEALTH CHALLENGE THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED WITH B-BSSR,
  • THE ASSOCIATED B-BSSR OPPORTUNITY THAT CAN ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE, AND,
  • THE MEASURES BY WHICH WE CAN EVALUATE SUCCESS.

THE ICO DIRECTORS AND STAFF MEMBERS OF OPPNET WILL USE THIS 2010 INFORMATION AS WE PLAN STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS FOR 2011-2014. OPPNET‘S MISSION IS TO PURSUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STRENGTHENING B-BSSR ACROSS NIH WHILE INNOVATING BEYOND EXISTING INVESTMENTS. ITS GOALS ARE TO:

  • ADVANCE B-BSSR THROUGH ACTIVITIES AND INITIATIVES THAT BUILD A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NATURE OF BEHAVIOR AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS.
  • PRIORITIZE ACTIVITIES AND INITIATIVES THAT FOCUS ON BASIC MECHANISMS OF BEHAVIOR AND SOCIAL PROCESSES THAT (A) ARE RELEVANT TO THE MISSIONS AND PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES OF MULTIPLE NIH ICS AND OFFICES, AND (B) BUILD UPON EXISTING NIH INVESTMENTS WITHOUT REPLICATING THEM.  

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OPPNET, INCLUDING NIH’S DEFINITION OF B-BSSR (CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU’RE GOING TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY AREAS FOR INVESTMENT) PLEASE VISIT, HTTP://OPPNET.NIH.GOV/.
