The award funds preparation of longitudinal data collected from 259 mother-infant dyads (131 Black, 128 White) followed across four waves from the third...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $797,615 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to optimize the SAFE Families intervention, a family-centered program designed to improve health and developmental outcomes for children who are HIV-exposed and uninfected. The award funds a randomized factorial trial enrolling 384 mothers living with HIV during...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of South Carolina $901,635 on July 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct a 10-year follow-up study examining neurobehavioral impacts in adolescence from early life nutrition supplementation in Bangladesh. The study leverages an existing cohort of adolescents from the Rang-Din Nutrition Study (RDNS), a community-based cluster-randomized trial...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded $1.244 million to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on September 9, 2025, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct the INICIO-Guatemala Study, a randomized controlled trial testing combined nutritional and caregiver interventions on child neurodevelopment in Guatemala. The study will enroll 400 Guatemalan infants in a 2×2 factorial design to assess the...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Children's Hospital Los Angeles $732,995 on September 1, 2026, to identify child risk and resilience factors in response to early life adversity and adverse childhood experiences under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The research develops scalable biological measures to augment existing questionnaire screening for early identification of toxic stress response in children exposed...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $1,172,712 on June 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct a prospective cohort study examining the association between endometrial receptivity markers in menstrual effluent and fertility outcomes. The research will enroll 695 women from the community who are attempting to conceive and follow them for twelve...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Virginia $124,971 under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) on July 1, 2026, to investigate how systemic infection and innate immune signaling influence brain development and adult physiology. The project examines the effects of early-life infection and immune activation on neural development, focusing on how immune signaling disrupts neural stem cell proliferation,...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $633,868 on August 27, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to examine pathways linking childhood maltreatment to accelerated biological aging and cognitive impairment at midlife. The research investigates how childhood abuse and trauma increase the risk of accelerated biological aging and cognitive decline in adulthood, with particular focus on midlife as a critical period when cumulative life exposures shape long-term health outcomes including Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project uses a developmental lifespan perspective to test hypotheses that childhood maltreatment disrupts healthy development and initiates cascading risk factors, and that these disruptions manifest differently by sex due to established differences in stress-response biology. The study examines psychosocial and inflammatory pathways, specifically how adverse factors in emerging adulthood—including elevated stress, depression, and poor relationship quality with parents—contribute to increased inflammation and accelerated biological aging by midlife. The research leverages data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), a nationally representative cohort followed from adolescence into midlife, and applies structural equation modeling to test sex-specific patterns. Work is performed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The period of performance runs through May 31, 2031.
