The Role of Health Policy and Health Insurance in Improving Access to and Performance of Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment Services
Application Deadline: April 1, 2021
Funding Agency: American Cancer Society
A call for research that evaluates the impact of the many changes now occurring in the healthcare system with a particular focus on cancer prevention, control, and treatment. Efforts focusing on improving access to care may also impact inequities that contribute to health disparities. New health public policy initiatives such as the new federal and state marketplaces that have expanded insurance coverage, as well as Medicaid expansion in some states, create natural experiments ripe for evaluation. Research to be funded by this RFA should focus on the changes in national, state, and/or local policy and the response to these changes by healthcare systems, insurers, payers, communities, practices, and patients.

For the purposes of this NOFO, MCH populations include the following groups: women, children (birth to 21), children with special health care needs (CSHCN), adolescents, and families.
Developing and Disseminating Targeted Immunization Materials
Application Deadline: April 15, 2021
Funding Agency: Centers for Disease Control – NCIRD
The purpose of the Notice of Funding Opportunity is to provide support for the development and dissemination of immunization information through electronic formats to enhance the effectiveness of disease prevention programs that reduce the annual burden of vaccine-preventable diseases. The recipient will: (1) develop educational materials for providers to share with patients, parents, and the general public; (2) disseminate educational materials on current immunization recommendations and practices to providers and other partners; (3) develop training opportunities and provide technical assistance for coalitions; and (4) provide rapid-response communication on outbreaks, emergency response, or trending immunization priorities.
Autism Field-Initiated Innovative Research Studies Program (Autism-FIRST)
Application Deadline: April 15, 2021
Funding Agency: Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) | Maternal & Child Health Bureau
Bureau (MCHB)’s Office of Epidemiology and Research is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2021 Autism Field-Initiated Innovative Research Studies (Autism-FIRST) Program. The purpose of this program is to support empirical research that advances the evidence base on interventions designed to improve the health of children, adolescents, and young adults with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD) across the lifespan. Because racial and ethnic disparities exist in the early screening and diagnosis of ASD/DD, the Autism-FIRST Program has a special focus on addressing the needs of underserved populations, such as low-income, racial/ethnic minorities, individuals living in rural areas and, in the case of ASD/DD populations, girls and young women, who are often under identified with regard to ASD, particularly at the higher functioning end.1 The Autism-FIRST program supports research studies that address critical issues surrounding the health and well-being of underserved children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD/DD up to the age of 26, and their families, recognizing that the first 25 years of life help lay the foundation for health and well-being across the lifespan.
