The Role of Work in Health Disparities in the U.S.
Funds health studies in the United States exploring how work conditions drive disparity outcomes across communities.
PAR-25-292, The Role of Work in Health Disparities in the U.S. (R01), is a multi-institute NIH R01 led by NIMHD and active through January 8, 2028. It studies how work and occupational conditions generate or maintain health disparities in the United States, and clinical trials are optional. The award budget is not capped and must reflect actual project needs, while the project period can run up to five years. The notice reissues PAR-21-275, carries Assistance Listing 93.307, and is built for U.S. higher-education institutions, nonprofits, and other NIH-eligible research organizations; federal agencies are excluded. The program is a strong fit for investigators who can connect occupational exposures, job conditions, or employment patterns to inequities in health outcomes. Its rolling cadence and open budget make it better for substantive epidemiology or intervention work than for small, preset-scope projects, and the March 31, 2025 update shows it remains aligned to current NIH priorities.
