2/2 Optimizing access, engagement and assessment to elucidate prenatal influences on neurodevelopment: The Brains Begin Before Birth (B4) Midwest Consortium Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY AT CHICAGO WAKSCHLAG, LAUREN S Evanston, IL 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HEALthy BCD) (Collaborative R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-029
Summary:

Though prenatal exposure to opioids and other substances have adverse effects on neurodevelopment, advances in neuroimaging and developmentally sensitive phenotypic measurement now enable characterization of typical and atypical brain-behavior pathways on an unprecedented scale. The Brains Begin Before Birth (B4) Midwest Consortium, a partnership of neuroscience, substance use, perinatal mental health, and child welfare scientists at Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) and neuroscience, bioethics, pediatric population health, maternal-fetal, and addiction scientists at Northwestern University (NU). This regional consortium will leverage the contrasting approaches of Illinois (punitive) and Missouri (non-punitive) to prenatal opioid use, providing a platform for examining the impact of jurisdictional variations on science and practice. The consortium provide a framework for addressing three major areas of challenge: (1) legal/ethical, (2) recruitment/retention, and (3) imaging/assessment methods.

Florida Development in Early Childhood: Adversity and Drug Exposure (FL-DECADE) Study Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GURKA, MATTHEW JAMES Gainesville, FL 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HEALthy BCD) (R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-036
Summary:

This study will determine the feasibility of a multifaceted approach to recruitment of normal and high-risk pregnant women and their children. Three inter-related tasks will support this comprehensive feasibility study. First, an interdisciplinary summit will occur early in the study focused on how best to mitigate risks and maximize benefits to children and families recruited in a future cohort. Second, the feasibility of a multi-faceted recruitment strategy will be assessed. Third, select pregnancy and birth assessments will be collected from recruited participants in this feasibility study while leveraging data across early childhood from existing resources, to inform Phase II study planning. This Phase I of the FL-DECADE study will provide valuable planning and feasibility data to be used for the national efforts to build a large, prospective cohort.

1/3 Promoting Resilience in Children: Protocol Development for a Birth Cohort Study To Assess Factors Impacting Neurodevelopment Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON GOLDSTEIN, ELLEN (contact); ZGIERSKA, ALEKSANDRA EWA Madison, WI 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HEALthy BCD) (Collaborative R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-029
Summary:

The first ten years of life are accompanied by rapid changes to the developing brain and cognitive abilities. Complex interacting factors including genetics, early-life exposure to substances, family and social interactions, and home and community environments can affect brain and cognitive development. Three linked projects aim to develop effective research protocols to lay a foundation for a future HEALthy Brain and Cognitive Development (HBCD) birth cohort study. Project 1 will develop protocols for recruitment and retention of a diverse sample of pregnant and postpartum women with oversampling of mothers with prenatal opioid use. Project 2 will identify ethical, legal, and regulatory challenges for investigations in this vulnerable population and define effective solutions to enable recruitment and study of these participants. Project 3 will develop and evaluate protocols for acquiring high-quality, quantitative neuroimaging measures with magnetic resonance imaging and functional near infrared spectroscopy and assess effective strategies for measuring cognitive performance in young children, including those exposed to opioids.

Biological and Environmental Contributions to Healthy Baby Development in Diverse Population Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF LOS ANGELES LEVITT, PAT Los Angeles, CA 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HEALthy BCD) (R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-036
Summary:

This project will support consortium hypothesis generation in Phase II in order to disentangle how complex environmental factors impact brain development and function — from fetal period through the first decade — to shape cognitive, social, and emotional development. The project will develop the strategies to recruit and retain a racially and ethnically diverse sample of pregnant women (and their fetuses), who are oversampled for adverse environmental risk factors and exposure to substances of abuse; develop the strategies for managing potential legal and ethical challenges to ensure that the mother–child dyads have access to legal, social, and psychological support services as needed; and determine the optimal study protocol for the planned, phase II study — balancing the need for high quality, longitudinal data collection with the need to minimize burden on the mother–child dyads.

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (Collaborative U01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-21-020
Summary:

This study aims to determine how exposure to opioids and other substances affects the developing fetal brain and shapes later child cognitive outcomes. Researchers will collect neuroimaging and behavioral data, as well as measures of environmental exposures related to social equity, COVID-19, and socioeconomic factors. The project will reduce traditional barriers to participation by using innovative data collection methods and mobile labs to bring the research to underrepresented and marginalized communities. This approach aims to clarify the impact of substance exposure on child development through an equitable approach to research, with generalizable findings. The study will take place at Rhode Island Hospital, where participants will be drawn from a largely rural population.
