INFANT SLEEP POSITION AND SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME RISK NIH GUIDE, Volume 22, Number 42, November 19, 1993 BAA AVAILABLE: NICHD-CRMC-94-01 P.T. 34 Keywords: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Sleep Disorders National Institute of Child Health and Human Development The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is conducting a study of sleep positions in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) cases. Research is to be conducted into current infant sleep practices so that NICHD may evaluate (1) whether and to what extent sleep practices change as a result of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation, which recommended that normal term infants be placed on their side or back to sleep; (2) to what extent changes in sleep practice may have positive or adverse effects on infant mortality in the United States; and (3) what are the relative risks for those infants sleeping in various positions to succumb to SIDS. To answer these research questions, the NICHD plans to issue a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for proposals that address one or more of the research questions proposed. This BAA for an infant's sleep position study and SIDS risks is a new acquisition. The issuance of the BAA will be on or about November 19, 1993 and proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. (Local Time), January 21, 1994. INQUIRIES Organizations desiring a copy of the above BAA may send their written request to: Mrs. Lynn Salo Office of Grants and Contracts National Institute of Child Health and Human Development 6100 Building, Room 7A07 Bethesda, MD 20892 All requests must cite the BAA No. NICHD-CRMC-94-01 and include two self-addressed mailing labels.
