Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Analysis of Existing Linked Datasets to Understand the Relationship between Housing Program Participation and Risk for Chronic Diseases and Other Conditions (R01-Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Based on research topic, choose the appropriate contact from the related announcement.

This opportunity is a Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) for research that evaluates the effects of housing program participation on risk for chronic diseases and conditions. Research in rural areas is encouraged.

Research examples include, but are not limited to:

• Examine how housing-focused programs or interventions at the federal, state, local, and/or other organizational level impact health outcomes, including both intended or unintended consequences, at the individual, community, population, and other levels
• Evaluate how participation in housing-focused programs alone or in combination with other social services programs affects risk or prevention of chronic diseases, other health outcomes, and healthcare utilization
• Assess the effects of multi-level programs, such as neighborhood stabilization, neighborhood revitalization, or other neighborhood and environmental programs, on risk for chronic diseases and health conditions during critical periods, including pregnancy, early childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, or older adulthood
• Evaluate how changes in federal, state and/or local policies relate to housing access, stability, and neighborhood environments affect residential displacement, community stability, and subsequent health outcomes in populations at risk for chronic diseases and conditions
• Assess data from federal, state or locally supported randomized controlled trials addressing housing instability or homelessness to understand their effect(s) on long-term health outcomes
• Explore how programs designed to enhance housing availability as well as programs to enhance accessibility impact patients with specific medical or treatment needs that are common to many diseases and chronic conditions, for example, impaired mobility/ambulation, increased fall risk, and need for home treatments
