This NICHD and NINR grant is for the purpose of building an empirical research base on human-animal interaction (HAI) and its significant impact on child health and development. Specifically, this R03 Small Research Grant mechanism supports studies exploring how children perceive and relate to animals, how household pets influence children’s social-emotional development and health outcomes like allergies, asthma, or obesity mitigation, and the safety and efficacy of therapeutic animal uses with children. This vital initiative stems from a public-private partnership between NICHD and The WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition, encouraging diverse research in this field. Up to 13 awards are anticipated, with individual grants offering up to $100,000 in direct costs over a two-year project period.
