Should a Center focus on developing a single intervention (perhaps with multiple components) or several interventions?
A. This is entirely up to the applicant. Centers may choose to focus on developing a single intervention, with or without multiple components, or to develop several inter-related interventions (e.g., an applicant may develop several interventions focused on weight loss in children, aimed at separate targets such as the individual, the parents, and the school environment). Applicants may also wish to develop & to compare the performance of 2 or more different intervention approaches. Applicants are free to propose to develop and evaluate whatever intervention or configuration of interventions/intervention components they wish within the budgetary limitations outlined in the RFA.
