The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is offering a cooperative agreement grant to establish a Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) for the Lifestyle Interventions in Pregnancy Clinical Trials Consortium. This grant’s purpose is to foster collaboration, coordination, and scientific information exchange among investigators conducting behavioral and lifestyle intervention studies in overweight and obese pregnant women. The ultimate goal is to improve weight and metabolic outcomes for both mothers and their offspring. The RCU will facilitate research activities, communication between centers and NIDDK, and data sharing. Key responsibilities also include planning and supporting meetings for the Steering Committee and Data Safety Monitoring Board. This initiative is vital for advancing research in maternal and child health.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), invites cooperative agreement grant applications from institutions to function as the Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) for the Lifestyle Interventions in Pregnancy Clinical Trials Consortium. This FOA runs parallel with a separate Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) that solicits applications for clinical trials (see RFA-DK-10-014). The purpose of the RCU is to promote collaboration, coordination and exchange of scientific information among investigators conducting lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women. The ultimate goal of the program is to conduct studies testing behavioral/lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women designed to improve weight and metabolic outcomes in both the pregnant women and their offspring. Among other tasks, the RCU will facilitate collaboration and coordination of research activities, communication between and among Centers and the NIDDK, and data sharing and collaborative manuscripts. In addition, the RCU will plan, arrange, and support meetings/conference calls of the Steering Committee and its subcommittees and the DSMB. |
