The NIH ORWH and our Institute, Center, and Office partners issued this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to highlight interest in receiving research and training grant applications focused on health impacts of gender-related social and structural variables.

Applications should demonstrate a clear and central focus on social and/or structural domains of gender in one of the following areas:

  1. Elucidating modifiable factors in gender-related health disparities;
  2. Developing, testing, or implementing social or structural interventions to mitigate gender-related health disparities; OR
  3. Investigating the interactions between multiple social and structural domains of gender (e.g., gender roles and gender inequity; power and gender relations). 

In each of these potential areas of focus, intersectional approaches to gender-related social and structural variables are strongly encouraged. 

The NOSI expires October 1, 2025. Check the individual Notice of Funding Opportunities for applicable receipt dates here.
