Parent Announcements (For Unsolicited or Investigator-Initiated Applications)

Parent announcements are broad notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) allowing applicants to submit investigator-initiated applications for specific activity codes. They are open for up to 3 years and use standard due dates.

NICHD may accept applications under the following NOFOs, provided that the project aligns with NICHD research interests and priorities:

Mechanism NOFO
R01 Clinical Trial (CT) required PA-20-183 (“parent” NOFO)
