4/6 Planning for the HEALthy Early Development Study Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO CHAMBERS, CHRISTINA La Jolla, CA 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 Planning for the HEALthy Early Development Study will contribute to the design and recommended protocol for a future large-scale, multi-site research study to prospectively examine human brain, cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional development of children beginning prenatally through ages 9–10 and to determine the impact of maternal pre- and postnatal substance use on short- and long-term development of children. The planning study will link investigators across 6 research sites who have complementary experience and expertise in the areas that are essential to designing the study. Planning activities will be accomplished using a coordinated set of 10 working groups. By the end of the planning phase, the 6 consortium sites will have produced and tested a recommended protocol for the future multi-site study and will have established feasibility of carrying out the study protocol at each of the 6 linked sites.

2/4 Investigation of opioid exposure and neurodevelopment (iOPEN) Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AT PITTSBURGH PANIGRAHY, ASHOK (contact); KRANS, ELIZABETH E; LUNA, BEATRIZ Pittsburgh,PA 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:

Rates of neonatal abstinence syndrome have reached a staggering 6.5 per 1,000 births nationwide, creating an urgent need to identify how in-utero exposure to opioids and associated risk factors influence the developing brain. A multidisciplinary team will address these challenges in Oregon, a state particularly hard hit by the opioid epidemic. Through linking sites, the impact of the Phase I project is enhanced and will provide critical information to support a national-level effort for Phase II of the HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study. Aim 1 will develop, implement, and evaluate innovative recruitment and retention strategies for high-risk populations. Aim 2 will address anticipated challenges of the planned Phase II study by implementing and evaluating a multi-site, standardized research protocol including multimodal MRI of placenta, fetus, neonate, and 24-month-old brain; biospecimen collection; and assessment of substance use and other key domains. Aim 3 will evaluate data acquisition, processing, and statistical considerations to maximize data quality, usability, and integration across sites.

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.
