The NIH Common Fund recently developed a concept for a new program called Advancing Health Communication Science and Practice. The concept envisioned the development, testing, and sharing of new approaches for effective and equitable health communication. Planning for the concept was informed by input from a request for information in April 2022 and a workshop held in May 2022. NIH has decided to pause moving forward with the development of the program to reconsider its scope and aims in the context of the current regulatory and legal landscape around communication platforms.
