- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $427,625 on July 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to conduct target trial emulation analyzing the impact of elective labor induction at 39 weeks on birth outcomes in resource-limited settings. The award funds a 24-month research project (performance through June 30, 2028, at Chapel Hill, North Carolina) that...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $427,625 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to develop and evaluate AI-guided self-scanning technology for prenatal ultrasound assessment. The project addresses limited access to obstetric ultrasound in underserved U.S. regions by piloting an integrated system combining low-cost point-of-care ultrasound...
- 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 a $4.097 million Cooperative Agreement to RTI International on September 15, 2025, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to serve as the Data Coordinating Center for the NICHD Stillbirth Research Consortium. RTI will provide data science and statistical leadership, informatics support, biorepository management, and project coordination to support consortium research aimed at...
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Greensboro $290,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to enhance and archive the TRIAD Child Study dataset for controlled sharing with the research community. The award funds preparation of longitudinal data collected from 259 mother-infant dyads (131 Black, 128 White) followed across four waves from the third trimester of pregnancy through age 2 years. The dataset includes interview transcripts and ratings from the Adult Attachment Interview; maternal physiological data (heart rate variability and skin conductance level) collected during prenatal emotion interviews and still-face interactions at 6 months; infant physiological data from still-face interactions; behavioral ratings of maternal and infant affect and emotion regulation during free play and distress-eliciting tasks; infant-mother attachment assessments via the Strange Situation; and extensive maternal-report measures covering childhood experiences, depressive symptoms, personality, marital satisfaction, parenting practices, infant temperament, and infant behavior problems. The project addresses barriers to research innovation by making intensive observational, interview, and physiological data accessible to scholars, particularly those from samples with greater racial and ethnic variability than typical longitudinal studies spanning the prenatal and infancy periods. Work is performed in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a period of performance extending through August 31, 2028.
