About this grant

This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is for a Limited Competition that will invite applications from eligible organizations to apply. Please see Section III. Eligibility, for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the applications will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious applications will be considered for funding. This NOFO will renew the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Consortium Administrative Core (HCAC) and Data Coordinating Center (HDCC).The HBCD Study is a nationwide, multi-site, longitudinal study that follows children from birth through childhood. The study examines brain and behavioral development, with a focus on how prenatal substance exposure affects health outcomes.The HBCD Consortium consists of three highly integrated components: (1) a set of linked Research Project Sites, (2) a single overall HCAC; and (3) a single central HDCC. As such, this NOFO runs in parallel with a companion NOFO that solicits applications for linked research sites (RFA-DA-27-013). It is expected that investigators, upon funding, will work jointly with NIH scientific staff to assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.
