Leveraging Innovative Behavioral and Psychosocial Interventions for Diabetes Prevention through Nutrition & Lifestyle

THIS RFA IS NOW CLOSED. MATERIALS ARE FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

2022 ADA Nutrition & Lifestyle and Diabetes Research Awards RFA

ADA is soliciting research to elicit sustained behavioral change at the individual and community level with interventions tailored to different racial and socioeconomic groups across the life span. Importantly, applicants should indicate how the proposed research will have a significant impact (“move the needle”) on outcomes in those individuals at risk of, or living with, diabetes. The goal of this RFA is to identify person centered, yet scalable, dietary and lifestyle interventions with the greatest potential for adoption and maintenance of diabetes-preventing or diabetes-mitigating lifestyles by individuals at greatest risks.
