About this opportunity
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on the impact of technology and digital media on children and adolescents; this is a forecast notice and applications are not being solicited at this time.
Eligible applicants include tribal organizations (not federally recognized), tribal governments (federally recognized), independent school districts, county governments, state governments, for-profit organizations, small businesses, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public and private higher education institutions, and public or Indian housing authorities.
The NOFO will utilize a phased R61/R33 mechanism. Technology and digital media encompasses social media, applications, websites, television, motion pictures, artificial intelligence, mobile devices, computers, video games, virtual and augmented reality, and other content disseminated through the internet, broadcasted, or other media technologies. The initiative seeks research proposals on how technology and digital media use and exposure impacts children's and adolescents' health and development, including potential broader effects on families and communities. Collaborative teams combining expertise across domains such as behavioral sciences are encouraged to apply.
Foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed. Evaluation criteria for the underlying R61/R33 mechanism include significance of the proposed research, soundness of approach, innovation, investigator qualifications, and adequacy of research environment. The funding opportunity is assigned to the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program under Assistance Listing 93.865. Award sizes across the parent program have historically ranged from $39 thousand to $794 million, with research project grants typically spanning $300 thousand to over $700 thousand.
Forecast synopsis
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on the impact of technology and digital media on children and adolescents. Technology and digital media (TDM) encompasses social media, applications, websites, television, motion pictures, artificial intelligence, mobile devices, computers, video games, virtual and augmented reality, and other content, networks, or platforms disseminated through the internet, broadcasted, or other media technologies, as applicable. Collectively, they have become an integral part of our children's and families' daily lives. Most children and adolescents now engage with TDM starting from an early age, often with high levels of exposure across multiple devices and contexts and involving a wide range of content. There is therefore an urgent need to understand how TDM use and exposure impacts children's health and development, as well as how it alters the very nature of interactions between children and their family members, peers, and society at large. As TDM has evolved with breathtaking speed, our understanding of its impacts - whether positive, neutral, or negative - on children's health and development has not kept pace. This initiative intends to address this expanding gap by inviting research proposals on the impact of TDM on children and adolescents, including potential broader effects on their families and communities. Please note that applications are not being solicited at this time. This notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize a phased R61/R33 mechanism. Investigators with interests at the intersection of TDM and child/adolescent development are encouraged to apply. In addition, collaborative teams that combine expertise across domains such as behavioral sciences, cognition and learning, computational and statistical modeling, computer science, geographic information science, library and information sciences, neurodevelopment, pediatrics, social and affective development and social sciences will be encouraged, and these investigators should also consider applying for this opportunity.
