We Need More Implementation Science To Improve Health Equity in Clinical Preventive Services
|
|
Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death, disability, and health care spending in the United States. Many chronic conditions can be prevented, delayed, or caught and treated early. However, despite the progress in research and clinical care, many Americans continue to receive less than recommended preventive health care; this is especially the case for communities that experience a high burden of disparities in chronic diseases. This means that not everyone has an equal opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
In a guest post, members of the planning team for the Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Achieving Health Equity in Preventive Services, share the results of a recent portfolio analysis that identifies areas where increased implementation science efforts could help make progress toward health equity in preventive services.

Workshop To Identify Risks and Interventions to Optimize Postpartum Health
The United States is experiencing a growing maternal health crisis. Most maternal deaths and complications occur during the first year after the pregnancy has ended (the postpartum period). The research community must increase efforts to improve postpartum care. The NIH is hosting a free, virtual Pathways to Prevention workshop to identify research gaps related to predicting and preventing poor postpartum health outcomes, November 29–December 1, 2022.

Due Soon: Nominations for the 2023 ODP Early-Stage Investigator Lecture
Do you know a promising scientist doing significant, innovative work in applied preventive research in humans, but who has not yet successfully competed for an R01 or R01-equivalent NIH research grant? Are you an early-career prevention researcher who is bridging disciplines to offer new approaches to disease prevention research? If so, consider submitting a nomination for the 2023 ODP Early-Stage Investigator Lecture by October 28, 2022!
The ODP will host an online lecture featuring the award winner in 2023. The awardee will also have the opportunity to meet and network virtually with NIH program directors and scientists.
Priority will be given to nominees conducting applied preventive intervention research to address health disparities in common risk factors for death and disability in the United States.
The ODP Funds Nine Administrative Supplements for Research on Preventive Interventions with Populations That Experience Health Disparities
The ODP awarded more than $2.8 million to nine administrative supplements in September 2022 to support preventive intervention research with populations that experience health disparities as a part of the new NIH-wide ADVANCE: Advancing Prevention Research for Health Equity initiative, coordinated by the ODP. The supplements, which build on existing projects at seven NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), address a variety of prevention topics, including nutrition, physical activity, alcohol and substance use, mental health, violence, liver disease, and HIV. They also focus on a range of populations, including African Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, Hispanics/Latinos, sexual and gender minorities, and people who live in rural settings.
The awards are the result of the Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative Supplements to Support Research on Preventive Interventions with Populations that Experience Health Disparities (NOT-OD-22-159), a funding announcement developed by the ODP and 13 participating ICs. The NOSI, which was issued in June 2022, prioritized preventive interventions that move beyond individual-level factors to address social and structural determinants of health and that are conducted in collaboration with relevant community, service system, and (or) health care partners.
An additional eight administrative supplements submitted to the NOSI from five ICs were funded by other NIH partners, including the Office of AIDS Research; the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI); and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
