Technical Assistance Webinar for PAR-23-066: Research on Community Level Interventions for Firearm and Related Violence, Injury and Mortality Prevention

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) is holding a technical assistance webinar related to the recently released Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PAR-23-066: Research on Community Level Interventions for Firearm and Related Violence, Injury and Mortality Prevention (CLIF-VP) (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required). The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health is a cosponsor of this FOA.

The webinar will provide an overview of PAR-23-066 (a reissue of PAR-22-115) and provide an opportunity to address participant questions. NIH staff will discuss the purpose and scope of these funding opportunities, go over the scientific review process, and review criteria and other logistical information. Participants should submit their questions in advance of the webinar by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 23, 2023, to dara.blachman-demner@nih.gov. Participation in the webinar is recommended but not required in order to apply to these funding announcements. 

PAR-23-066 solicits biphasic research projects proposed in UG3/UH3 Phased Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement applications. Funding for the UG3 phase (phase I) will be used to demonstrate sufficient preparation, feasibility, and capacity to meet foundational milestone targets specific to the work proposed. A UG3 project that meets its milestones will be administratively considered by NIH and prioritized for transition to the UH3 award (phase II). Applicants responding to this FOA must address specific aims and milestones for both the UG3 and UH3 phases.

This webinar will include live captioning and will also be recorded and posted with captions on the OBSSR website until the March 18, 2023, FOA expiration date.

Individuals who need reasonable accommodation to participate in this event should contact Erica Moore, erica.moore2@nih.gov, 301-594-4392, and/or the telecommunications relay service (TRS) at 7-1-1.
