Interventions on Health and Healthcare Disparities on Non-Communicable and Chronic Diseases in Latin America: Improving Health Outcomes Across the Hemisphere (R01 - Clinical Trial Required)

This funding opportunity is designed to support research interventions on health and healthcare disparities in Latin America and among U.S Hispanics/Latinos. It is specifically directed toward non-communicable and chronic diseases with the highest mortality rates and burdens in these populations. The grant, labeled as 'R01 - Clinical Trial Required', is set up to encourage the creation and operation of innovative, interdisciplinary research teams.

These research teams will be tasked with developing clinical, health service, or community-based interventions to tackle the health and healthcare disparities. The nature of this work necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. As such, teams will be required to collaborate closely with key partners. One of the primary investigators (PI) or multiple principal investigators (MPI) from institutions within Latin America must be included in this collaboration to ensure the research is appropriately contextualized and effective.

In conclusion, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) presents a substantial opportunity for research entities focused on improving health outcomes across the hemisphere through targeted action on health disparities.
