Important Research on Biopsychosocial Factors of Social Connectedness on Wellbeing

The Department of Health and Human Services is offering grants for three varying research projects involving social relationships and how they affect human wellness. They are accepting applications for mechanistic clinical studies, research not involving clinical studies, and basic experimental studies with human participants. It is well-established that social-ties, or lack thereof, impact overall health and wellbeing and the Department of Health and Human Services seeks to understand why more clearly. They hope that they can use this research to apply in the improvement of multiple domains of health research, which can then be implemented in the medical field.
