The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through its departments including NIDDK, NHLBI, NICHD, and NCCAM, is offering this grant to support studies on behavioral and lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women. This grant is for the purpose of improving weight and metabolic outcomes in both the pregnant women and their offspring. Successful applicants will conduct trials testing interventions to control gestational weight gain or influence maternal metabolic profiles, with follow-up extending at least 12 months postpartum. Weight and metabolic outcomes must be assessed in both mothers and offspring. Investigators are expected to collaborate on common outcomes and data sharing. Studies involving minority and socio-economically disadvantaged populations are highly encouraged for this vital health initiative.
