Self-Management Strategies Across Chronic Diseases
Funding Contact: NINDS Funding Coordinator
Funding Categories: Clinical Research
Brief Description:
TThe purpose of this Program Announcement (PA) is to solicit applications to expand research on established self-management
interventions to multiple chronic diseases across the life-course. Interventions aimed at chronic disease self-management
are numerous and many are well described in the literature. They are often presented as specific to a particular chronic disease.
This PA encourages applicants to investigate the applicability of effective self-management interventions to a broader spectrum
of chronic diseases. Chronic disease, for this announcement, is defined as illnesses that are prolonged, are rarely cured
completely, and require self-management behaviors by affected individuals and/or their caretakers.
