Description

Purpose: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to encourage Research Project Grant (R21) applications from institutions and organizations to propose studies related to basic, applied and translational research in neonatal hypoglycemia. While much progress has been made in understanding the causes and mechanisms of altered neonatal glucose homeostasis, major gaps remain. Through this FOA, the NICHD is hoping to fill-in such knowledge gaps, which may lead to better monitoring and treatment strategies for altered neonatal glucose homeostasis. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) award mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PA-11-053 and PA-11-054 , that encourage applications under the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) and NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanisms. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. 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 will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
