Basic Research in Behavioral, Social, & Biopsychosocial Processes Program

This program’s portfolio includes research to increase our collective knowledge on the nature of basic social, behavioral, psychosocial, and/or biopsychosocial mechanisms and processes. Projects should be designed to deepen our understanding of how and why humans initiate, adopt, maintain, and sustain behaviors that impede or promote optimal health and well-being within NIDCR’s research mission. Both animal model and human subject research projects are welcome, as are projects that leverage existing data for novel and/or translational purposes.
