This NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant, part of the HEAL Initiative, supports high-risk, high-reward basic research projects. It invites applications to investigate the impact of opioids, potentially combined with other substances, on placenta function and neurodevelopment during pregnancy and the first year of life. Studies must utilize experimental designs prospectively assigning human participants to conditions, assessing biomedical and behavioral outcomes to understand fundamental phenomena related to opioid exposure. This grant specifically targets Basic Experimental Studies with Humans (BESH) that align with NIH’s definitions of both basic research and clinical trials, without aiming for clinical outcomes or products. Applications proposing animal or observational human studies should refer to the companion RFA-HD-23-031.

| Description: | The NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant supports exploratory and developmental research projects by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of these projects. These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Exploratory/Developmental Grant applications to study the impact of opioids, alone or in combination with other substances of misuse, on placenta function and neurodevelopment during pregnancy and in the first year of life using experimental designs that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical and/or behavioral outcomes in humans to understand fundamental aspects of phenomena related to opioid exposure during pregnancy. NIH considers such studies as Basic Experimental Studies with Humans (BESH), or prospective basic science studies involving human participants that meet the NIH definition of basic research and fall within the NIH definition of clinical trials (see, e.g., NOT-OD-19-024). Applications should not propose a goal of clinical outcomes or products. Applications that propose studies including model animal research or observational studies involving humans should submit under the companion FOA, RFA-HD-23-031,”Opioid Exposure and Effects on Placenta Function, Brain Development, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes (R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed). |
