About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health is issuing a limited competition R01 grant opportunity (RFA-AT-25-002) to investigate the feasibility of complementary and integrative health approaches for improving maternal health outcomes. The funding is specifically targeted at current investigators from the NIH's Implementing a Maternal Health and Pregnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE) Initiative, particularly those from the Maternal Health Centers of Excellence, who can partner with complementary and integrative health experts. The proposed projects must include a multisite feasibility clinical trial to gather data necessary for planning a subsequent full-scale clinical efficacy or effectiveness study on mind and body interventions for maternal health. Key objectives include assessing intervention fidelity, demonstrating recruitment and retention feasibility, and testing data collection protocols.

This opportunity is supported by several NIH programs, including the Office of Research on Women's Health, Mental Health Research Grants, Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, and Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health. The funding amount and performance period are not specified, but typical NIH R01 grants range from $50,000 to over $4 million and last 2-5 years. The research is expected to be conducted at the eligible applicants' institutions, which are limited to public higher education institutions currently participating in the IMPROVE initiative.

Synopsis

Update #3 · Latest ·

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) invites investigators currently funded through the NIH Implementing a Maternal Health and Pregnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE) Initiative to develop applications to test the feasibility of complementary and integrative approaches with psychological and/or physical inputs (often called mind and body interventions) to promote healthy pregnancies and enhance maternal health outcomes. Currently funded IMPROVE investigators- particularly the Maternal Health Centers of Excellence- are encouraged to partner with investigators with complementary and integrative health expertise. Eligibility is limited to currently funded investigators of the IMPROVE initiative. Applications submitted under this NOFO are expected to propose a multisite feasibility clinical trial that will provide new information that is scientifically necessary for the planning and conduct of a subsequent clinical efficacy or effectiveness study, pragmatic trial, or dissemination and implementation trial on a mind and body intervention to enhance maternal health. It is expected that applications to this NOFO will describe the planned future clinical trial and in so doing demonstrate that the proposed (R01) research is scientifically necessary to design or plan the subsequent fully powered, full-scale clinical trial. Under this R01, the data collected should be used to fill gaps in scientific knowledge, including, but not limited to the following: assessing whether the intervention can be delivered with fidelity across sites; demonstrating feasibility of recruitment, accrual, and randomization of participants across sites; demonstrating participant adherence to the intervention, as well as retention of participants throughout the study across sites; refining and assessing the feasibility of protocolized multimodal interventions, and/or demonstrating feasibility of data collection across sites in preparation for a future fully powered, multisite efficac
