  3. NICHD Mission The mission of the NICHD is to ensure that every person is born healthy and wanted, that women suffer no harmful effects from reproductive processes, and that all children have the chance to achieve their full potential for healthy and productive lives, free from disease or disability, and to ensure the health, productivity, independence, and well-being of all people through optimal rehabilitation.

  4. NICHD Organization

  5. Child Development and Behavior Branch The CDB Branch develops scientific initiatives and supports research and research training relevant to the psychological, psychobiological, language, behavioral, and educational development of children. The following theme characterizes all Branch programs: Development is best described and studied as a variable process in which individual differences in cognitive, social, affective, language, neurobiological maturation, environment and life experiences, and genetics interact in complex ways. Demographics and Behavioral Sciences Branch The mission of the DBS Branch is to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and populations by adding to knowledge about human population dynamics and their causes and consequences. The Branch funds demographic, behavioral, and social sciences research on fertility, families, population movement, morbidity and mortality, HIV/AIDS, and population composition. Research on population diversity and change, studies of the consequences of population diversity and change for health and well-being, and research on the interrelationships among individual, family, group, community, and population processes are all central to this mission. TwoNICHD Branches of Interest

  6. Child Development and Behavior Branch Priorities • Developmental Cognitive Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Psychobiology Program • Early Learning and School Readiness Program • Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) Research Program • Language, Bilingualism and Biliteracy (LBB) Program • Pediatric Behavior and Health Promotion Research Program • Reading, Writing, and Related Learning Disabilities Program • Social and Affective Development/Child Maltreatment and Violence Program • Mathematics and Science Cognition and Learning: Development and Disorders Program

  7. Demographics and Behavior Branch Priorities • Family, Children, and Intergenerational Research • Fertility, Infertility, and Reproductive Health • HIV and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) • Health, Health Disparities, and Mortality • Immigrants, Migration, and Population Distribution • Race, Ethnicity, Population Composition, and Change • Research Infrastructure for Demographic and Behavioral Population Science (RIPS) • Research Methodologies

  8. Child and Family Processes/Maltreatment and Violence Program Areas of focus within the Program include antecedents and consequences of child abuse and neglect as well as psychosocial and psychobiological factors that shed light on the mechanisms by which child abuse and neglect result in harmful effects. In addition, the Program aims to identify factors that help children cope with abuse and neglect and to develop theory-driven prevention and intervention strategies that reduce the risk for maltreatment and ameliorate its effects on development. Also of interest are studies that examine children’s emotional responses and physiological reactivity to trauma and conflict as mediators and moderators in the associations between exposure to parental/marital conflict, child adjustment, moral development, and cognitive and behavioral problems. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/org/crmc/cdb/prog_cfpmv/index.cfm

  10. Research Considerations… Is the science incremental or will it move the field forward in significant ways? (Impact) Is it innovative? Will it advance theory or provide new methods or resources for the field? Does it have real-world implications for possible application?

  11. Research Priorities…. • Basic and applied studies of cognition, language, reading, math and science learning, learning disabilities, with and without comorbid conditions, in various contexts (SES, language, culture, neighborhood, family…) • Common measures, methods, samples, pooling data to answer larger questions • Integrated neurobiological, quantitative and behavioral genetic, and cognitive behavioral data

  12. Program Priorities Studies that highlight the experiences children need from birth to age eight to prepare them to learn, read, and succeed in school. Early interactions with adults and peers, the early childhood education teaching methods and curricula, and comprehensive early childhood interventions that support learning and development Studies that explore a variety of influences on atypical development in mathematics and science learning and cognition in both humans and animal models, including genetic and neurobiological substrates, and cognitive, linguistic, sociocultural, and instructional factors. Studies of the association between pet ownership/caregiving and physical and mental health, as well as the involvement of companion animals in both physical and psychological therapeutic treatments

  13. K is for Career – Other Ks • For NICHD it’s primarily the K01, K02 K08, K23 or K99 • Look carefully at the qualifications • If in a clinical, patient-oriented track, K23 may be a good option • Use the K Kiosk (http://grants.nih.gov/training/ careerdevelopmentawards.htm), then… Contact program staff if you have questions • Up to 5 years of salary (protected research time) and minimal additional expenses

  14. Career Development Awards – K01 • NICHD only supports the K01 in three areas: • Child Abuse and Neglect Research & Training • Population Research & Training • Medical Rehabilitation Research and Training

  15. Purpose of the “K” Award • Provides support and “protected time” (3-5 years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence

  16. Eligibility Requirements Candidates must: have a research or a health-professional doctorate or its equivalent, be committed to developing careers as independent investigators in child abuse and neglect research, and have demonstrated the capacity or potential for highly productive independent research in the period after the doctorate.

  17. K01 Review Criteria • Candidate • Career Development Plan • Research Plan • Mentor(s), Consultant(s), Collaborator(s) • Environment and Institutional Commitment to the Candidate • Protections for Human Subjects • Inclusion of Women, Minorities and Children

  18. NICHD Child Maltreatment Funded Project Descriptions

  19. Military Families Initiative • Research on Children in Military Families: The Impact of Parental Military Deployment and Reintegration on Child and Family Functioning • PA-11-200 (R01) • PA-11-201 (R13) • PA-11-202 (R21)

  20. Military Families Initiative Goals • R01: Studies on the impact of parental military deployment, combat-related stress, and reintegration with the family on child social and affective development outcomes as well as on family functioning.  Longitudinal prospective studies with diverse samples would address important gaps in the literature and are highly encouraged.  Descriptive studies addressing the particular concerns of early childhood, middle childhood and adolescence are also encouraged. • R13: Interdisciplinary conferences and meetings to examine critical questions regarding the impact of parental military deployment, combat-related stress and reintegration with the family on child social and affective development outcomes as well as on family functioning. • R21: Developmental and exploratory studies as well as intervention studies targeting the particular concerns of early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence are also encouraged, as are the development and testing of measures to assess family functioning and child development outcomes.

  21. NICHD Research Short Courses (R25) PA-12-207 • The R25 is used for support to develop and/or implement a program as it relates to a category in one or more of the areas of education, information, training, technical assistance, coordination, or evaluation. • The NICHD invites applications for grants to develop and conduct short-term research education programs to improve the knowledge and skills of a broad-based community of biomedical and behavioral researchers conducting research on reproductive, developmental, behavioral, social, and rehabilitative processes that determine the health and well-being of newborns, infants, children, adults, families, and populations. The program should include both didactic and hands-on experiences. If appropriate, the program may include activities to disseminate course materials and instructional experience to the scientific community. Programs focusing on uses of model organisms are encouraged
