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.

18/24 Healthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO HEALTH SCIS CTR BAKHIREVA, LUDMILA NICOLE (contact); LEEMAN, LAWRENCE M Albuquerque, NM 2021
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (Collaborative U01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-21-020
Summary:

The HEALthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium (HBCD-NC) will establish a normative template of developmental trajectories over the first 10 years of life. All sites in the HBCD-NC will carry out a common research protocol and will assemble and distribute a comprehensive and well curated research dataset to the scientific community at large. The HBCD-NC will collect neural, behavioral, physiological, and psychological measures, as well as biospecimens, to characterize neurodevelopmental trajectories. Most participants will be recruited in the second trimester of pregnancy, with a smaller subset recruited at birth, and followed for the first 10 years of life. The University of New Mexico Health Science Center study site is in a largely rural/mixed state with one of the highest rates of overdose in the nation. This site will enroll diverse mother-infant pairs and partners or caregivers, including Hispanic/Latinx and American Indian individuals.
