Deadline: 15-Jul-22
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) is soliciting applications to fund up to three (3) projects focusing on adolescent girls at risk for eating disorders exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each project will identify, develop, and implement an evidence-based intervention(s) aimed at detecting and preventing eating disorders.
Each project must:
- Develop and implement an evidence-based intervention(s) to address modifiable risk factors, encourage behavior change, and improve health outcomes in response to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Create partnerships that integrate physical and mental health aspects of eating disorders among care providers, nutritionists, and/or community organizations to address gaps in care exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Create developmentally appropriate education and outreach for adolescent girls at risk for eating disorders; and
- Plan for transition of a successful project to sustainability.
Details
Projects funded through this initiative will focus on one or more of the following eating disorders:
- anorexia nervosa, a condition where people avoid food, severely restrict food, or eat very small quantities of only certain foods;
- bulimia, a condition where people have recurrent and frequent episodes of eating unusually large amounts of food and feeling a lack of control over these episodes followed by a type of behavior that compensates for the binge, such as purging;
- binge-eating disorder, a condition where people lose control over their eating and have reoccurring episodes of eating unusually large amounts of food; and/or
- avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), previously known as selective eating disorder, a condition where people limit the amount or type of food eaten resulting in not eating enough calories to grow or to maintain basic body function.
