The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), in collaboration with other NIH Institutes and Centers and the NIH HEAL Initiative, plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a limited competition to support the Coordinating Administrative Core (HCAC) and Data Coordinating Center (HDCC) of the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) study. This initiative aims to renew funding for the second five-year period of the HBCD project, which tracks a cohort of approximately 7,200 pregnant women and their children from the second or third trimester of pregnancy into childhood. The cohort includes children exposed prenatally or perinatally to various substances such as opioids, marijuana, stimulants, alcohol, and nicotine, with comprehensive multi-domain assessments encompassing growth, medical and family history, behavioral and cognitive outcomes, biospecimens, socioenvironmental factors, and brain imaging. The HDCC plays a critical role in managing and harmonizing all data-related activities, including collection, processing, storage, and analysis, while facilitating data sharing with the broader scientific community. Meanwhile, the HCAC oversees overall leadership and management of the consortium, including budget oversight, performance monitoring, protocol standardization, policy development, and outreach efforts. Applications for this limited competition, classified under the U24 activity code and excluding clinical trials, will undergo standard NIH peer review with funding awarded based on merit. This announcement serves to inform potential applicants to prepare collaborative and responsive proposals ahead of the forthcoming solicitation.
