Description:
This Program Announcement (PA), jointly issued by the Demographic and
Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB) and the Child Development and Behavior
Branch (CDBB) of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), invites research
grant applications that seek to develop a comprehensive program of research
focused on the mechanisms through which social, economic, cultural, and
community-level factors, and their interactions, impact the early cognitive,
neurobiological, socio-emotional, and physical development of children.
Understanding the influence of these mechanisms is especially important for
understanding the impact of public policies on the development of children at
whom (or at whose families) these policies are often specifically targeted,
notably children living in poverty or near the federal poverty line. Arenas of
particular relevance within public policy include childcare, early childhood
education, welfare reform, tax, social services, and family/work policies, as
all of these shape the life experiences of children in poverty. Thus, a goal
is for the research to develop data that would bear directly on these arenas
and might thereby inform policies that impact child development, whether or
not child development is the explicit focus of those policies. This PA extends
the Science and Ecology of Early Development (SEED) initiative.
