For purposes of this RFA, a discipline is defined as a particular branch of knowledge or field of study. Examples of specific disciplines include those within the social and behavioral sciences (psychology, sociology, anthropology); medical fields of study (neurosciences, metabolic biology, behavioral genomics, cardiovascular medicine, pharmacology, nutrition science), and related fields such as economics, business (marketing), health policy, environmental redesign, urban planning, engineering, informatics, communication sciences, humanities, and exercise sciences. At least three separate disciplines should be represented on the project team. If applicants have further questions regarding the composition of interdisciplinary teams, they should consult one of the NIH program representatives listed in the RFA.
