This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), jointly issued by the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB) and the Child Development and Behavior Branch (CDBB) of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), invites research grant applications that seek to develop a comprehensive program of research focused on the mechanisms through which social, economic, cultural, and community-level factors, and their interactions, impact the early cognitive, neurobiological, socio-emotional, and physical development of children.

This program announcement solicits research applications aimed at increasing the parenting skills and capacities of parents and caregivers to improve the health outcomes of their young and adolescent children. This is important because childhood, and particularly adolescence, is a time for the development of health habits that can last a lifetime. Moreover, adolescence is a transitional period during which experimentation and high-risk health behaviors may be displayed. The long-term consequences of health habits and behaviors often become manifest in young adulthood and adulthood. Against this backdrop, it is well documented that the probability of children and adolescents acquiring non-optimal health behaviors and developmental problems increases significantly when their adult caregivers exhibit ineffective parenting skills and practices. Thus, interventions to increase parenting skills and capacities and reduce high-risk behaviors should involve both parents and their children. Interventions targeting two or more risk factors that indicate ineffective parenting practices (e.g., lack of appropriate parental monitoring, supervision, and communication, high family conflict and disorganization, parental stress and depression, lack of parent-child bonding and negative discipline methods) that simultaneously focus on multiple high-risk adolescent health behaviors (e.g., unhealthy dietary behaviors, inadequate physical activity, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, and unintentional (e.g., accidents) and intentional behaviors (e.g., firearm related injuries), are fundamental to this initiative. Interventions that target the reduction of a broad range of family risk factors and simultaneously build upon protective factors are highly encouraged. Parents and similarly situated caregivers of children 10-to-18 years of age are the targets of this initiative.

Eligible Applicants Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government are eligible to apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations Agency Name National Institutes of Health Description Executive Summary This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to support small research projects that address 1) drug use patterns and trends within and across populations; (2) interplay of social interactions, social environment, structural context with individual behavioral characteristics and genetic vulnerability; (3) the phenotypic heterogeneity of drug abuse; (4) causal mechanisms leading to onset, maintenance, and remittance of drug abuse, as well as protective mechanisms that reduce the risk of drug abuse; and (5) drug abuse over the life course, including developmental processes that influence drug use trajectories and behavioral, health, and social consequences of drug abuse. In addition, research is encouraged to develop methodologies to improve the accuracy, efficiency, scope, timeliness, and analytic yield of drug abuse epidemiologic data. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards are contingent upon the availability of funds and the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -This FOA will use the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-06-329, that solicits applications under the Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) award mechanism. Applicants wishing to submit applications under the traditional Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism are referred to the initial funding opportunity, PA-04-100. -The R03 is intended to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. The R03 is not renewable. - Budget and Project Period: Budgets for direct costs up to $50,000 per year and a project duration of up to two years may be requested for a maximum of $100,000 direct costs over a two-year project period. - Eligible Organizations: For-profit and non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of State and local governments; eligible agencies of the Federal government ; domestic and foreign institutions/organizations; faith-based or community-based organizations; units of State Tribal government; and units of Local Tribal government. - Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs): Individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research are invited to work with their institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.
