This $641,647 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) will fund an integrated intervention to address the double burden of maternal and child malnutrition in Guatemala. The project aims to assess the effectiveness, implementation, and cost-effectiveness of an intervention to reduce maternal overweight/obesity and child stunting in rural Guatemalan communities.

Key components of the project include a randomized hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial with 766 pregnant mothers and their children, evaluating maternal weight and child length outcomes. It will also assess barriers and facilitators to implementation, and conduct an economic evaluation on the integrated nutrition intervention. Sub-awards support the involvement of the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama (INCAP) for field data collection, and the University of Michigan for monitoring maternal safety and evaluating implementation outcomes.

The project aims to generate globally relevant implementation evidence on addressing the double burden of malnutrition, with implications for nutrition and non-communicable disease policy in Guatemala and internationally.
