What is the purpose of this website?
The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) designed this website to expand the promotion efforts of the NIH research supplement training program. Furthermore, the OBSSR seeks to ensure a concentration of researchers who will address behavioral and social factors that are important in improving the public's health, especially among underrepresented populations. This website creates a link between underrepresented students and faculty eligible for support through the NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research program (see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-05-015.html). In addition, it establishes a central resource for students and faculty, as well as researchers, seeking information on NIH research training opportunities in the behavioral and social sciences. The creation of this site is also in line with Congressional interest in increasing the number of behavioral science training opportunities available to minority students (U.S. House Report 105-635).
