The National Institutes of Health are offering a grant for institutions to utilize neuroimaging approaches in obesity research in human subjects and animal models. This grant aims to enhance understanding of the brain’s role in controlling eating behavior and energy metabolism to address excessive fat storage caused by a mismatch in food intake and energy expenditure. Up to $4.5 Million in funding is available to support 9-15 awards for projects applying functional neuroimaging techniques in the study of obesity.

| Description: | -Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, of the National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/ organizations that propose to use neuroimaging approaches in obesity research in human subjects and animal models. Many areas of the brain interact or communicate with other organs to control eating behavior, physical activity and energy metabolism, and functional neuroimaging holds enormous promise for expanding our understanding of how food intake and energy expenditure are mismatched in a setting of abundantly available nutrients, leading to excessive fat storage. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount of funding that the ICs expect to award through this announcement is up to $4.5 Million, to fund approximately 9-15 awards. |
