  1. Institute for Systems Science and Health May , 2011 NIH Behavioral and Social Sciences Research: A Snapshot from OBSSR Deborah H. Olster, PhD Deputy Director Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) NIH/DHHS http://obssr.od.nih.gov

  2. The NIH Mission: … science in pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability.

  3. Collins Testimony May, 2011 2012 request: $31.987 billion for NIH in FY 2012 NIH is the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world Funds more than 40,000 competitive research grants 325,000 research personnel Sends funds to more than 3,000 research institutions and small businesses across our nation’s 50 states

  4. NIH support of BSS FY 2010 non-ARRA $3.53 billion NINR, NCMHD, NEI, NIEHS, RMAP, OD, NIGMS, NCRR, NIAMS, NCCAM, NIDCR, FIC, NHGRI, NLM, NIBIB

  5. DPCPSI --OBSSR

  6. The OBSSR Mission: … to stimulate behavioral and social sciences research throughout NIH and to integrate these areas of research more fully into others of the NIH health research enterprise, thereby improving our understanding, treatment, and prevention of disease.

  7. Developing BSS research agendas Planning, leading and supporting trans-NIH initiatives Coordinating and communicating within NIH Education and training Informing the NIH leadership Informing the BSS community Informing Congress and the public Role of OBSSR

  8. Basic research on behavioral and social mechanisms that affect health at the individual and population levels, & bio-behavioral-social interrelationships Translational research on the conversion of basic knowledge into practice that improves health at the individual and population levels NIH Behavioral and Social Sciences Research

  9. Health: From Cells to Society

  10. OBSSR’S Strategic Prospectus “Next generation” basic science Interdisciplinary research Systems-thinking approaches to health Population impact

  11. OBSSR-led Funding Opportunities Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities (R01, R21) Understanding and Promoting Health Literacy (R01, R03, R21) Social Network Analysis and Health (R21, R01) Translating Basic Behavioral and Social Science Discoveries into Interventions to Improve Health-Related Behaviors (R01)

  14. OppNet: Mission and Goals • To pursue shared opportunities that strengthen basic behavioral and social sciences research (b-BSSR) beyond existing NIH investments • To foster activities and initiatives on basic social processes and mechanisms of behavior that are relevant • Across public health challenges • Across the missions of individual NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices • To expand NIH’s funding of b-BSSR with additional investments that complement NIH’s current overall research portfolio

  15. OppNet 2011 RFAs • Capacity Building • Scientific Meetings for Creating Interdisciplinary Teams • RFA-CA-10-017 (R13) • Short-term Interdisciplinary Research Education Programs • RFA-NR-11-002 (R25) • Short-term Mentored Career Development Awards • RFA-DE-11-003 (K18) • Self-Regulation • Basic Research on Self-Regulation • RFA-AG-11-010 (R21) • Behavioral Maintenance • Basic Mechanisms Influencing Behavioral Maintenance • RFA-HL-11-035 (R01)

  16. OppNet 2011 RFAs, cont’d • Sleep and Social Environment • Basic Biopsychosocial Processes • RFA-HD-11-101 (R01) • RFA-HD-11-102 (R21) • Social Environment • Measurement, Methods, and Mechanisms • RFA-DA-11-003 (R01) • Psychosocial Stress • Integration of Behavioral and Physiological Processes • RFA-HL-11-033 (R01) • Development of Comprehensive and Conceptually-based Measures • RFA-HL-11-034 (R21)

  17. Science of Behavior Change RFA RM 10-002, Science of Behavior Change: Finding Mechanisms of Change in the Laboratory and the Field (R01) • Goal: to improve the understanding of basic mechanisms of behavior change that play a role in initiating or maintaining behavior change across a broad range of health-related behaviors; • Identify optimal targets, time points for interventions • Identify common mechanisms of change • Inform tailoring of interventions • Apply novel technologies • Identify individuals/groups most likely to benefit
