Summary

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) encourages scientists in the US and internationally to address research questions about family, child care, school, and child development through analyses of existing data sets from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. In particular, NICHD would like to see the data sets used by psychologists, sociologists, economists, statisticians, educators, policy makers, and physician scientists.

NICHD is committed to facilitate the creation of a complex, multifaceted, and yet interconnected body of scientific knowledge that is based on data from the more than 1,000 families participating in the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. Having such a scientific body of knowledge has the potential of leading to a deep and comprehensive understanding of variations in families, child care settings, and schools, and of how such variations are linked to the development of children from different walks of life. Moreover, new analyses of the data sets, from different scientific perspectives, will increase understanding of the ways in which the interconnections between the child-rearing environment and children's developmental outcomes unfold with maturation over time.

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.
This funding opportunity will utilize the small research grant (R03) mechanism, but runs in parallel with a program announcement of identical scientific scope (PA-05-093 http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-05-093.html) that utilizes the traditional research project grant (R01).
