چکیده
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Opportunity Network (OppNet) in fiscal year (FY) 2009 to “pursue opportunities for strengthening basic behavioral and social science research (b-BSSR) at the NIH while innovating beyond existing investments” through two goals: 1. Advance basic behavioral and social science research through activities and initiatives that build a body of knowledge about the nature of behavior and social systems. 2. Expand the b-BSSR portfolio by opening opportunities to investigators who had not applied previously to NIH for b-BSSR funding or had applied previously but were unsuccessful or minimally so.
