Areas of Research Interest

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

NICHD's 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 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 PAR, NICHD encourages research that integrates cross-cutting topics: health disparities, disease prevention, infectious disease, and nutrition.

In response to PAR-21-275, topics of interest to NICHD include, but are not limited to research on:

• Work and educational, occupational, and/or life course pathways contributing to health disparities,
• The impact of employment on health outcomes for persons with intellectual, developmental, learning, physical and psychological disabilities,
• Variation in state employment policies on health outcomes,
• The physical location of work and ease of getting to service providers, whether of direct health care or facilitators of healthy behaviors (e.g., grocery stores and gyms),
• Labor market change (e.g., growth/dissolution of occupations/industries, changes in certification/education requirements) and associated occupational exposures with health, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes,
• Consequences of bias and discrimination in workplace policies (e.g., differential hiring, salary and promotion practices) on health, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes,
• Job-related exposures (e.g., essential and frontline workers during the COVID19 pandemic, high risk/stress occupations, shift work, etc.) and their impact on child health, reproductive health, and pregnancy outcomes.

All other aspects of the FOA remain the same.
