OBSSR Mission
Stimulate behavioral and social science research across NIH
Integrate behavioral and social science research more fully into the NIH health research
Improve understanding, treatment, and prevention of disease
What does OBSSR do?
Develops funding initiatives for research
Provides opportunities for training and career development for behavioral and social scientists
Organizes conferences, workshops, and lectures
What does OBSSR do?
OBSSR supports existing and emerging areas of BSSR research across NIH by:– Developing BSS research agendas – Planning, leading and supporting trans-NIH
initiatives– Leveraging IC investments in BSSR– Coordinating and communicating within NIH
around BSSR – Supporting BSSR education and training – Informing NIH leadership, BSS community,
Congress and the public about new BSSR developments

Behavioral and Social Sciences Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities
Purpose: encourage behavioral and social science research on the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U.S. population.
– Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1) public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention.
– Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as system science or community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged.
Understanding and Promoting Health Literacy (R01/R03/R21) PAR-10-133/PAR-10-134/PAR-10-135
The goal of this program announcement is to encourage empirical research on health literacy concepts, theory and interventions.
– Health literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.
