Projects on Emotional Well-being and Economic Burden-Related Pilot Studies
RFA-EMOT-ECON-50P-22-002
estigators in the EMOT-ECON area of research. These pilot projects must involve primary data collection or secondary data analyses on EMOT-ECON research. Applications will be accepted in the following priority areas:
- Ontology and measurement of emotional well-being (EWB) research to capture components of EWB in people with economic burden of disease.
- Mechanistic research to identify mechanisms linking economic burden of disease to EWB.
- Prevention research to identify intervention strategies (e.g., stress-management, mind-body interventions, education, financial navigation interventions) that help individuals effectively cope with economic burden of disease and financial hardship and maintain or improve EWB.
Applications that focus on economic burden or financial hardship broadly defined and not related to disease or focus on EWB only or economic burden of disease only, will be considered nonresponsive to this call.
Building on an established coping theory (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984), the EMOT-ECON network seeks to understand how the economic burden of disease is appraised by individuals and families (i.e. stressful vs. not stressful), how individuals and families cope with the stressor, and how coping efforts ultimately impact EWB. For this RFA, preference will be given to applications that investigate the circumstances by which aspects of the economic burden of disease are experienced as stressors, addressing a significant gap in knowledge and a critical component of our guiding conceptual framework (https://www.emot-econ.org/). Research questions may include, but be not limited to:
- Which psychological factors determine whether the economic burden of disease, or any of its components, is perceived as a stressor?
- Which other factors impact whether the economic burden of disease is experienced as stressor?
- What are the elements of economic burden of disease (e.g., costs of treatment, loss of income) that are perceived as stressors, and by whom?

Dissertation Research Award
RFA-EMOT-ECON-DRA-22-001
The EMOT-ECON network invites applications for dissertation awards for doctoral candidates. These dissertation projects must involve primary data collection or secondary data analyses on EMOT-ECON research. EMOT-ECON research component must be accomplished within 1 year of funding.
Applications will be accepted in the following priority areas:
- Ontology and measurement of emotional well-being (EWB) research to capture components of EWB in people with economic burden of disease. Examples of questions include, but are not limited to, identifying EWB components in people with economic burden of disease or financial hardship, or examining whether these components vary depending on when such burden or hardship occur across the lifespan.
- Mechanistic research to identify mechanisms linking economic burden of disease to EWB. Examples of questions include, but are not limited to, examining whether emotion- or problem- focused coping in people with economic burden leads to lower stress which then leads to better EWB, or identifying mechanisms by which medical-related financial stress impacts EWB.
- Prevention research to identify intervention strategies (e.g., stress-management, mind-body interventions, education, financial navigation interventions) that help individuals effectively cope with economic burden of disease and financial hardship and maintain or improve EWB. Examples of questions include but are not limited to, examining whether a stress management intervention (e.g., mindfulness meditation, yoga) in patients facing medical-related financial distress leads to better EWB, or whether providing information about costs of care or financial assistance leads to better EWB.
Applications that focus on economic burden or financial hardship broadly defined and not related to disease or focus on EWB only or economic burden of disease only, will be considered nonresponsive to this call.
