EXTENSION OF COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT: THE NICHD STUDY OF EARLY CHILDCARE NIH GUIDE, Volume 23, Number 9, March 4, 1994 P.T. 34 Keywords: Child Psychology/Development Grants Administration/Policy+ National Institute of Child Health and Human Development The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has an active interest in the support of research on the development of children who have been placed in child care arrangements during their infancy. In 1988, NICHD issued a request for cooperative agreement applications (RFA) titled "Effects of non-parental infant day care on child development." The data collection for the study that ensued will terminate at the end of 1994 and NICHD intends to extend this cooperative agreement for an additional five years for the purpose of longer follow-up studies of the same cohort of children. It also intends to limit the competition to the participating research sites and to expert investigators who have access to the study participants and to data derived therefrom. The study will continue to be conducted as a collaboration between awardees and NICHD scientific program staff. The NICHD staff will have substantial programmatic involvement in designing and coordinating the research protocol, monitoring its progress, making data analyses plans and writing scientific papers. The NICHD scientific program staff member will also continue to be responsible for the overall coordination of the project.INQUIRIES Additional information may be obtained from: Sarah L.
