This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant is for innovative discovery research into pediatric obesity. This department is offering this grant to characterize early-life risk factors and elucidate causal mechanisms contributing to obesity development in infancy and early childhood. The focus is on understanding biological mechanisms mediating behavioral and metabolic obesity risk in young children, alongside how psychosocial, contextual, and environmental factors modify this risk. This grant supports multidisciplinary teams, including basic, translational, clinical, and behavioral scientists, to advance comprehensive understanding of this critical public health issue.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support innovative, discovery research studies to better characterize early-life risk factors and elucidate underlying causal mechanisms through which these risk factors contribute to the development of obesity during infancy and early childhood. Studies should aim to understand biological mechanisms that mediate behavioral and/or metabolic risk for obesity development in young children and how risk may be modified by other contributors such as psychosocial, contextual, and/or environmental factors. This FOA encourages multidisciplinary teams of scientists including, but not limited to those with expertise in basic, translational, clinical, and behavioral research. |
