Call for Pilot Proposals
Network on Life course Health Dynamics and Disparities (NLCHDD)
due February 14, 2025
Health and mortality among middle-aged and older adults differ markedly across geographic areas of the United States. Pilot projects funded by the NLCHDD in past years examined why these outcomes differ across state contexts or across local contexts. The current request for applications by NLCHDD seeks to fund pilot proposals that examine how multiple contexts jointly shape health and mortality of midlife and older adults. Proposals might examine, for example, how state policy contexts affect adult health in rural versus urban counties; or how the relative importance of different contexts for health changes across the life course and differs by gender, race/ethnicity, and SES. The NLCHDD intends to fund 2-3 proposals, at $25,000-$50,000 each, this year that examine how multiple geographic contexts shape health and mortality of midlife and older adults.
