Answer:
This CFP supports two types of projects: short-term studies and complex and comprehensive legal studies. The purpose of short-term studies is to conduct legal research, policy analysis or empirical evaluations of actual or potential public health implications of specific laws, regulations or regulatory enforcement systems. The purpose of complex and comprehensive legal studies is to conduct analyses and in-depth evaluations of laws implemented across a variety of jurisdictions and fields, analyses of effective and ineffective components of laws and regulations, as well as analyses of implementation and enforcement challenges. This CFP focuses on three priority research areas:
(1) The impact of laws and legal practices on population health outcomes;
(2) The use of innovative policies or regulatory techniques to promote healthier individual or organizational behavior;
(3) The development, implementation and/or effectiveness of ordinances, executive orders and other legal tools used by local governments to improve public health.
The focus of this program is on the United States; studies looking at the laws or policies internationally will be considered only to the extent that they may directly inform U.S. policy and or the population's health.
