The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $155,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to curate and publicly release a de-identified dataset from the Limiting Adverse Birth Outcomes in Resource-Limited Settings (LABOR) study. The award funds transformation of raw physiologic and clinical data collected during labor and delivery from 12,002 women across four hospitals in Zambia, Ghana, and India into a standardized, HIPAA-compliant public resource. Aim 1 integrates multiple data streams—clinical, laboratory, ultrasound, and continuous maternal-fetal physiologic monitoring—aligns physiologic and clinical timelines, derives standardized variables, and applies de-identification. Aim 2 generates variable dictionaries, annotated case-report forms, and user guides, then deposits the complete resource in the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) for public access. The dataset links continuous intrapartum physiology with maternal and neonatal outcomes measured through 42 days postpartum and is designed to comply with NIH FAIR data principles. Work is performed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028. This Project Grant is classified as assistance funding to a nonprofit research institution.
