The Behavioral Intervention Development (BID) Training Program is an NIH-funded research education initiative focused on helping investigators apply the NIH Stage Model to behavioral intervention development research.
Why this matters
Behavioral intervention development research requires more than strong ideas. It requires a systematic approach to developing, testing, refining, and advancing interventions that can improve health in real-world settings.
The BID Winter Institute helps investigators move from understanding the NIH Stage Model conceptually to confidently applying it in their own behavioral intervention development research.
