NIH; Notice of Interest in Long-term Maintenance of Behavior Change Research - The purpose of this notice is to encourage research into the maintenance of health behavior change. Many funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) state the importance of the maintenance of behavior change, and request research projects that aim to promote long-term behavior change. Nevertheless, much more research is needed on how best to promote the maintenance of behavior change, particularly given the mounting evidence that the mechanisms underlying the initiation of behavior change are not synonymous with those underlying the maintenance of behavior change.
