>Children's Program Researchers...
NIH has just issued a program announcement for proposals on "Secondary Data
Analyses Based on the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth
Development." I have included a brief summary and the link to the complete
guidelines below. If you would like to discuss possible research topics,
Jon Gruber would be happy to hear from you. 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. 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.
Please feel free to contact Jon or me with any questions.

This initiative is aimed at encouraging scientists to answer their research
questions pertaining to family, child care, school and child development by
analyzing the detailed, comprehensive and well documented longitudinal data
sets from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD) Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD). NICHD
expects that the use of data sets from the NICHD SECCYD will lead to
original papers by scientists with different interests, trained in
different disciplines. The NICHD Study provides a panoramic view of child
development across time and in different social and institutional contexts.
Therefore, it provides scientists an opportunity to replicate findings from
previous studies of narrower scope and it affords an opportunity to answer
questions that could not be answered before.
The data sets from the NICHD SECCYD are available for qualified and
interested investigators whose applications to use the data were
successful. In order to receive the data, researchers and institutions must
meet the criteria and obligations as stated on the application form
appearing on the study web site
(<http://secc.rti.org/apply.cfm>http://secc.rti.org/apply.cfm).
