Featured Resources and Initiatives
Pragmatic and Group-Randomized Trials in Public Health and Medicine
This is a free, online course developed by the ODP that provides a detailed guide to designing and analyzing group-randomized trials (GRTs). The course includes video presentations, slide sets, suggested reading materials, and guided activities.
Tobacco Regulatory Science Program (TRSP)
TRSP is a trans-NIH collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The program supports NIH research that provides the scientific evidence the FDA needs to develop and evaluate tobacco policy and regulations. TRSP issues funding opportunities in tobacco regulatory science on behalf of the FDA and participating NIH Institutes.
Pathways to Prevention (P2P) Program
The goal of the P2P program is to host workshops that identify research gaps in a selected scientific area, identify methodological and scientific weaknesses in that scientific area, suggest research needs, and move the field forward through an unbiased, evidence-based assessment of a complex public health issue.
Resources for Researchers
A one-stop shop for NIH disease prevention tools, Resources for Researchers includes information about NIH-funded research, prevention research needs and gaps, methods training opportunities, and dissemination and implementation research.
Prevention Research Highlights
Research Highlights provide information about funded research, current funding opportunities, and recent advances in prevention science. Learn more about how the NIH and its federal partners are addressing such topics as Obesity, Physical Activity, and Tobacco Use.
