AI Contract Overview
The National Institute on Drug Abuse, in collaboration with other NIH Institutes and Centers and the NIH HEAL Initiative, is issuing a limited competition solicitation under RFA-DA-27-013 for the HEALthy Brain and Child Development study. This U01 cooperative agreement is a renewal for a second five-year period intended to support research project sites responsible for participant recruitment and retention, behavioral assessments, biospecimen collection, and neuroimaging. The study focuses on a large longitudinal cohort of approximately 7,200 dyads consisting of pregnant women and their children, starting from the second trimester of pregnancy and continuing through childhood. The primary objective of the research is to gain a nuanced understanding of how prenatal and perinatal exposure to prescription and illicit opioids, marijuana, stimulants, alcohol, and nicotine affects a child's health, brain, and behavioral development. This data is intended to inform the design of interventions that promote resiliency and well-being in children. Eligible organizations must undergo a standard NIH peer-review process to be considered for funding. The solicitation is managed by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, with a specific focus on clinical trial research that is not allowed for this particular activity code.

This is a renewal that will continue the funding for the second 5-year period. The cohort includes babies exposed pre- or perinatally to prescription and illicit opioids, marijuana, stimulants, alcohol and/or nicotine, and will provide a deep, nuanced understanding of the short-term and long-term factors that affect a child’s health, brain, and behavioral development, which is an essential first step toward designing interventions that promote well-being and resiliency in children. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
