Description
Purpose. This Funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) solicits scientifically rigorous applications from institutes/organizations that propose to conduct effectiveness studies on programs that deliver essential services and HIV prevention programs to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) affected by HIV/AIDS. Emphasis is on outcome effectiveness and the impacts programs have on the lives of children, adolescents, caregivers, and community members. Of prime interest are studies involving outcome evaluations (impact), economic evaluations (cost analysis, cost effectiveness, and cost-benefit analysis), and comparative effectiveness. Program evaluation may include formative evaluation (needs assessment) and process evaluation (program monitoring) as part of a larger study to determine the impact of the program on the health and well-being of the recipient population and to enhance our understanding of core mechanisms responsible for effective interventions. These evaluations should assist in more accurately identifying orphans and vulnerable children, and in identifying programs effects on childrens health, security, and developmental progress toward healthy adulthood.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism.
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NICHD intends to commit $2 million (total costs) in FY 2011 to support meritorious projects through this FOA. We anticipate 3-5 awards will be made depending upon the number and quality of applications received and the availability of funds.
