NIH Long-Term Weight Maintenance: Basic and Clinical Studies Modification 2 

Applications investigating mechanisms underlying weight stability and/or weight regain after intentional weight loss, as well as clinical studies investigating the role of behavioral, nutritional, exercise, or other interventions in enhancing long-term weight maintenance will be supported. Collaborations between basic and clinical researchers are particularly encouraged. This FOA will utilize the Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanisms and runs in parallel with a funding opportunity of identical scientific scope (PA-06-145) that will utilize the traditional research project grant (R01).
