## What the grant funds

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite basic observational or experimental behavioral and/or social science R01 applications that test how intrapersonal and interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change interact with, influence, or are influenced by characteristics of social networks, with implications for health. Research supported through this NOFO will examine at least two levels of analysis: interpersonal processes and social network characteristics. Projects will identify targets for future social network health behavior change interventions across the lifespan, especially in populations in which they are currently largely underdeveloped and untested (such as populations in mid- to- late life). Basic research to develop, refine, or optimize measures (assays) of putative targets (e.g., intra/interpersonal mechanisms of behavior change and/or social network characteristics) are also supported by this NOFO. Clinical trials that do not meet the federal definition of basic research (CFR 272.3) are not responsive to this RFA. Projects that propose to support the planning activities necessary to develop social network interventions for which a target has already been identified are most appropriate for the R34 RFA companion (RFA-AG-24-026).
