Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to inform the scientific community that the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) plans to reissue three Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs), PAR-18-689, PAR-18-690, and PAR-18-691, Innovative Therapies and Tools for Screenable Disorders in Newborns. When reissued, these FOAs will continue to use the R01, R03, and R21 activity codes, respectively, and will continue to be clinical trial optional. The Specific Areas of Research Interest in these FOAs will be updated to include new and revised research priorities.

This Notice informs potential applicants of the future availability of continued opportunities to submit applications beyond the May 8, 2021 expiration of the FOAs.

The FOAs are expected to be published in Summer 2021, with the first application due dates in Fall 2021.

Research Initiative Details

These FOAs encourage research relevant to the development of therapeutic interventions for potentially fatal or disabling conditions that have been identified through newborn screening, as well as "high priority" genetic conditions where screening may be possible in the near future.

Demonstrating the benefits of treatment is often a primary criterion for including a condition on a newborn screening panel; therefore, for these FOAs, a "high priority" condition is one where screening is not currently recommended but would significantly benefit from early identification and treatment.
