Home and Community-Based Physical Activity Interventions to Improve the Health of Wheelchair Users (R01 Clinical Trial Required)

Funding Opportunity RFA-HD-22-017 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to request applications to develop, adapt, and/or test physical activity interventions for individuals who use wheelchairs due to physical disability. The goal of the proposed interventions should be to safely prevent, or reverse chronic conditions associated with low physical activity such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Inclusion criteria must be based on functional status rather than the primary condition leading to disability. Interventions that could be applied or easily adapted to large populations of wheelchair users and used in multiple settings are a priority.
