CDMRP Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program: Lifestyle and Behavioral Health Interventions Research Award

The PRMRP Lifestyle and Behavioral Health Interventions Research Award (LBIRA) supports clinical research and/or clinical trials using a combination of scientific disciplines including behavioral health, psychology, psychometrics, biostatistics and epidemiology, surveillance, and public health for a disease or condition related to at least one of the PRMRP Topic Areas. 

The overall intent of the LBIRA mechanism is to promote evidence-based and patient-centered approaches to improve health and/or disease-related outcomes and enhance the patient experience in defined populations.
