Description

-Purpose. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and participating Institutes within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invite grant applications for research related to developmental pharmacology. To encourage multidisciplinary, investigator-initiated basic and translational research in developmental pharmacology with particular emphasis on the role of ontogeny on drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters, receptors and signaling pathways activity across developmental periods from fetal life to adolescence. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PAR-08-216 that solicits applications under the R21, grant mechanism and PAR-07-416, that solicits applications under the R01 grant mechanism. -The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. The R03 is intended to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources
