Education and Health: New Frontiers (NIH)
Deadline: January 7, 2019

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Policy-Relevant Insurance Studies (PRIS)
Deadline: February 19, 2016
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded public and private coverage options, created online Marketplaces to foster competition among health insurance plans, and stimulated payment and delivery system reform efforts in an attempt to make health care more affordable, more accessible and of higher quality. Yet, despite a significant reduction in the uninsured rate, millions of eligible individuals remain uninsured, many with important concerns about affordability. This call for proposals (CFP) will focus on empirical and policy-relevant analyses that address the issue of affordability of health insurance.

Call for Papers Special Issue of Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care - Pain Issues in Palliative Care and End of Life: Expanding the Social Work Role
EXTENDED Deadline: March 30, 2016
Pain and/or the fear of pain is often experienced by patients receiving palliative care and those facing end of life. Failure to address the multidimensional sources of pain and related suffering can produce emotional and moral distress for both personal and professional care providers. Disparities continue in access to quality pain management, and too few providers feel well-prepared to care for those with complicated pain concerns. For this special thematic issue, manuscripts are encouraged that report on original research, including systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses, policy analysis, program evaluation, innovative educational programs, and evaluated community interventions. Manuscripts must specifically relate to palliative and/or end-of-life care topics in pain/symptom management for serious illness. Click here for more information.
