Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice Kennedy
Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development encourages research
grant applications to conduct studies to improve existing drug saftey and efficacy, and to
develop new drugs for pediatric and obstetric populations. The overall goals of this FOA
are to support: (1) pharmacological studies addressing the special differences of drug
actions and responses among children at various developmental stages, between children
and adults, and between pregnant and non-pregnant women; (2) development of new
drug targeting children and pregnant women; (3) multidisciplinary collaborations
between basic and physician scientists to improve the use of therapeutics in obstetrics and
pediatrics. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant

PAR-09-155 that encourages applications under the R01 grant mechanism and PAR-09156 that encourages applications under the R21 grant mechanism. Funds Available and
Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research
will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of

depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications
received.
