Health Promotion and Interventions at the Individual Level – HPII
NOTE: Starts with the October 2026 Council round submission dates (Cycle I due dates). This study section was evaluated as part of CSR’s ENQUIRE process to align study sections with advances in science. Learn more about ENQUIRE.
The Health Promotion and Interventions at the Individual Level (HPII) Study Section reviews social and behavioral applications and intervention studies focused on the uptake/adoption of health behaviors to prevent chronic and infectious diseases or health conditions. Applications include a wide range of bio-behavioral, psychological, cultural/social, and clinical interventions and approaches designed to change behavior. Interventions may be delivered in clinical or non-clinical settings and often target prevention, early action or behavior change prior to disease onset. The study section does not review applications using animal models, or studies with a focus on community-level or population-level variables.
