The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) is offering this grant opportunity to advance understanding of the microbiome’s contribution to preterm labor and delivery. Building on the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Human Microbiome Project (HMP), this grant is for the purpose of investigating how microorganisms significantly impact preterm birth, a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Research suggests bacterial shifts occur during pregnancy, and enhanced knowledge of these microbiome changes, alongside genetic and environmental influences, is crucial to address this public health issue. NINR seeks studies that explore the mechanisms linking the microbiome to preterm birth. Interdisciplinary collaborations, especially with nurse scientists, are strongly encouraged, as is engaging Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) sites for resources.

| Description: | This funding opportunity announcement builds on the National Institute of Nursing Researchs (NINRs) previous efforts to understand the mechanisms related to preterm birth by leveraging the work performed by the National Institutes of Healths (NIHs) Human Microbiome Project (HMP). NINR seeks research to address the contribution of the microbiome to preterm labor and delivery. Preterm birth is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity, and evidence suggests that although there are multiple contributors, microorganisms may play a significant role. Research conducted as part of the HMP demonstrated that a shift in bacterial species occurs in women during the course of a pregnancy. An enhanced knowledge of the microbiome, the changes that are associated with increased risk for preterm labor and delivery, and the influence of genetic and environmental factors is needed to better address this important public health issue. Interdisciplinary collaborations that include nurse scientists in the project team are strongly encouraged. Additionally, applicants should consider engaging the resources and expertise of nearby or otherwise available Clinical and Translational Science Award grant sites (CTSAs) and/or federally funded research centers where possible. |
