Deadline February 19, 2010 - OppNet requests your input on priorities in Basic Behavioral and Social Science Research!

The NIH Basic Behavioral and Social Science Opportunity Network (OppNet) is seeking input from the scientific community, health professionals, patient advocates, and the general public about current and emerging priorities in basic behavioral and social sciences research (b-BSSR).



Please note that the deadline for responding to this RFI is Friday, February 19th, 2010. OppNet is seeking your help in identifying broad priority areas. The purpose of this RFI is not to solicit ideas for specific, individual research proposals.

OppNet Mission
The mission of OppNet is to pursue opportunities for strengthening basic behavioral and social science research (b-BSSR) at the NIH while innovating beyond existing investments.

OppNet Goals
OppNet advances basic behavioral and social science research through activities and initiatives that build a body of knowledge about the nature of behavior and social systems.
OppNet prioritizes activities and initiatives that focus on basic mechanisms of behavior and social processes; that are relevant to the missions and public health challenges of multiple NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices (ICOs); and that build upon existing NIH investments without replicating them.
