The NICHD is offering this R21 Exploratory/Developmental grant to advance childhood obesity research. This funding opportunity aims to foster collaborative teams comprising researchers, policymakers, and various stakeholders at local, state, or regional levels. The goal is to identify research questions, design and implement relevant studies, and translate findings into evidence directly applicable to policy development for childhood obesity prevention and control. This non-renewable grant supports projects with a maximum duration of two years. Direct costs are capped at $275,000 over the two-year period, with no more than $200,000 allowed in any single year. The grant encourages innovative research approaches that bridge the gap between scientific discovery and effective policy implementation.

| Description: | Purpose. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the NICHD is to enhance childhood obesity research by fostering the formation of local, state, or regional teams consisting of researchers, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders (e.g., community representatives, public health practitioners or officials, educators) in order to identify research questions and hypotheses, design and implement the relevant research, and translate the research into evidence relevant to potential policy efforts in this area.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-09-140, that encourages applications under the NIH Small Research Grant (RO3) award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Budget and Project Period.The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed two years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over an R21 two-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. The R21 is not renewable. |
