Eligibility, for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the applications will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious applications will be considered for funding. This NOFO will renew the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Research Project Sites.The HBCD Study is a nationwide, multi-site, longitudinal study that follows children from birth through childhood. The study examines brain and...

behavioral development, with a focus on how prenatal substance exposure affects health outcomes.The HBCD Consortium consists of three highly integrated components: (1) a set of linked Research Project Sites, (2) a single overall Consortium Administrative Core (HCAC); and (3) a single central Data Coordinating Center (HDCC). As such, this NOFO runs in parallel with a companion NOFO that solicits applications for the HCAC and the HDCC (RFA-DA-27-014). It is expected that investigators, upon funding, will work jointly with NIH scientific staff to assist, guide, coordinate, and participate in project activities.
