Archive: Highlights of Past Obesity Research Solicitations

This Archive highlights NIH obesity-related research solicitations from the past several years. Many of these are focused specifically on obesity; others encompass obesity within a broader research scope.

The following research solicitations are listed by the year in which they were released. In general, Program Announcements (PA) remain open to accept applications for three years from the release date. Requests for Applications (RFAs) generally identify a single application receipt date, although some RFAs specify additional receipt dates.

The solicitations in this Archive are no longer accepting applications. Current funding opportunities, including any re-issues of solicitations now in the Archive, can be found on the main funding opportunities page: back to current opportunities for research funding
