Grant Description

The purpose of this solicitation is to recompete the Global Network for Womens and Childrens Health Research. The NICHD invites applications from investigators willing to participate under a cooperative agreement in an ongoing multicenter international research network designed to perform randomized clinical trials and intervention studies focused on reducing the major risks to maternal, neonatal, infant, and early childhood health in the low and lower-middle income countries. This FOA solicits applications from U.S. institutions to support Research Units within the Global Network. Individual Research Units (RU) will consist of U.S.-based research centers in partnership with research centers in low and lower-middle income foreign countries. The RUs within the Global Network will participate in addressing the major causes of maternal, neonatal, infant, and early childhood morbidity and mortality. The grantees will form a cooperative network in scientific partnership with NICHD to conduct common, randomized clinical trials evaluating interventions in resource-poor settings. The catchment populations for the RUs will include a diversity of ethnic, linguistic and cultural groups.
