Grant Description

This FOA issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK); National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI); Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD); and National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), National Institutes of Health, invites grant applications from institutions/ organizations that propose to conduct studies testing behavioral/lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women designed to improve weight and metabolic outcomes in both the pregnant women and their offspring. Trials must be designed to test lifestyle interventions to control gestational weight gain and/or influence maternal metabolic profiles. Studies are expected to continue follow-up of mothers and their offspring for a minimum of 12 months post-partum. Weight and/or metabolic outcomes must be assessed in both mothers and offspring. Investigators funded through this FOA must be willing to collaborate to develop a minimal set of common outcomes and to share data. Studies in minority and socio-economically disadvantaged populations are particularly encouraged.
