Subject: Funding Opportunity from NICHD
From: Janet Stein (jbstein@nber.org)

To: Children's Program Researchers...
NIH has just issued a program announcement for R03, R21 and R01 proposals
on The Influence of Religiosity and Spirituality on Health Risk Behaviors
in Children and Adolescents. I have included a brief summary and the links
to the complete guidelines below. (Please don't worry about the sections
that refer to the need to register for electronic submission. NBER is
already registered, and we have completed several electronic submissions
and can guide you through.)
If you would like to discuss possible research topics, Jon Gruber would be
happy to hear from you. As you may know, grants from NIH often support
substantial research efforts for as many as five years, so they allow you
to request funds for a large-scale project.
If you would like to learn more about what is involved in preparing a
proposal for NICHD and how we can help, let me know. Besides answering any
questions about the grant requirements, I can send you samples of
successful past proposals from the Children's Program.
Please feel free to contact Jon or me with any questions. I look forward
to working with you.

* This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research studies
that are qualitative, quantitative, and combined methods; that examine the
mechanisms, mediators, and moderators by which religious and spiritual
beliefs develop and are transmitted across generations; and whether and how
these beliefs influence early sexual behaviors and alcohol or other drug
use that may facilitate the transmission of HIV in children and
adolescents. The focus is on the positive and negative effects of
religiosity and spirituality on health risk behaviors in children and
adolescents. In view of the increasingly plural religious landscape in the
United States, it is important to consider the beliefs and behaviors
promulgated by numerous religions.
