Unlock behavior change insights with the NIH SOBC Common Fund Program! Explores mechanisms, interventions, and rigorous research for healthier lives. Discover the legacy at SOBC RCC.

What is SOBC? Behaviors are among the most important factors that determine whether people will live long, healthy lives. Researchers at SOBC are working to identify what underlies successful behavior change. Knowing what works and what doesn’t work is the key to helping people live healthier lives.

Research funded during Stage 1 led to the identification of three broad classes of intervention targets that are highly relevant to understanding the mechanisms of behavior change: self-regulation, stress reactivity and stress resilience, and interpersonal and social processes.

The SOBC method aims to identify key mechanisms underlying successful change in health behaviors like diet and exercise. Going through the three steps of the method—Identify, Measure, and Influence—helps us to understand why an intervention worked or didn’t work.

The Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) Research Network seeks to improve the understanding of underlying mechanisms of human behavior change by promoting basic research on the initiation, personalization, and maintenance of behavior change.

NIH recently announced the renewal of the Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) program, including the SOBC Resource and Coordinating Center, a national hub for scientists to collect and disseminate resources for rigorous behavioral science.
