Section I. Areas of Research Interest

Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

The NICHD mission is to lead research and training to understand human development, improve reproductive health, enhance the lives of children and adolescents, and optimize abilities for all. The NICHD's broad and diverse research portfolio includes research related to conception and pregnancy; typical and atypical development in childhood; childhood trauma, injury, and critical illness; the transition from adolescence to adulthood; reproductive health; rehabilitation; intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities; and population dynamics across the lifespan. 

For this NOSI, NICHD seeks applications aligned with NICHD mission and strategic priorities that utilize a life course approach to investigate disparities between sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth and young adults and their cisgender, heterosexual peers. Specific interests include but are not limited to, studies of SGM disparities in developmental outcomes; adverse childhood experiences, bullying, and violence; access to and utilization of pediatric and trauma-informed care; and sexual, reproductive, and perinatal health and health care. NICHD especially welcomes projects using longitudinal data and/or population representative samples to study health disparities among SGM populations and those that examine the intersectional impact of SGM identities with other identities in NIH-designated health disparities populations, including persons with disabilities.

Applications to NICHD that address the mission and priorities of other institutes that are not participating in this NOFO will not be prioritized for funding by NICHD.
