TATRC and NIH Funding Opportunities in the Areas of Virtual Reality and Obesity
TATRC & NIH are partnering in four funding opportunities in the areas of Virtual Reality and Obesity.
SBIR: Virtual Reality Technologies for Research and Education in Obesity and Diabetes (R43/R44)
Application Due Date(s): July 11, 2011 and July 11, 2012, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-12-020.html
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage the small business research community to submit applications that capitalize on the unique capabilities of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies to teach, motivate, visualize outcomes, and to extend the health care and learning environments for patients with obesity and diabetes. The VR technology proposed should foster desirable eating, physical activity, self-care, and other health-related behaviors necessary for prevention and management of obesity and diabetes.
Of highest interest are well-designed multidisciplinary projects drawing on expertise in VR technologies and biomedical behavioral and pedagogical sciences. The overall goal is to develop the potential of Virtual Reality technologies as research tools for behavioral science-oriented studies in diabetes and obesity, and as practical tools for clinical and public health-level prevention and management of obesity and diabetes.
