Opportunity Summary:
Chronic Illness Self Management in Children and Adolescents (R01) is an NIH research grant opportunity designed to strengthen the evidence base on how to help children and teens living with chronic health conditions manage their day-to-day care more effectively and, in turn, improve their quality of life. The central idea behind the announcement is that chronic illness management is not a short-term task but an ongoing, often lifelong responsibility that falls on young people and their families. Because of that reality, the FOA encourages studies that go beyond narrow, one-size-fits-all approaches and instead examine the full set of influences that shape self-management behaviors and outcomes across childhood and adolescence.
The research focus is broadly framed around self-management and quality of life, with an emphasis on understanding and improving the processes that help young patients and families handle treatment regimens, symptom monitoring, decision-making, and the practical and emotional demands of chronic disease. The FOA highlights the importance of considering multiple interacting layers that affect self-management. These include individual differences (such as developmental stage, skills, and motivation), biological and psychological factors (including mental health, stress, and illness burden), and family and sociocultural context (such as caregiving structures, beliefs, language, and social support). It also points to the role of wider systems and settings, including family-community dynamics, healthcare system factors like care coordination and access, technological advances that may support monitoring or coaching, and environmental influences that can either support or undermine adherence and healthy routines. In practical terms, NIH is signaling interest in research that recognizes self-management as something shaped by the child, the family, the community, and the health system all at once, rather than treating it as solely an individual responsibility.
This opportunity uses the R01 mechanism, meaning it supports full-scale, investigator-initiated research projects rather than small pilot awards. The funding instrument type is a grant, and it is categorized as discretionary funding. It is connected to multiple NIH program areas reflected in the CFDA listings, including Nursing Research (93.361), Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research (93.847), and Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (93.865). That mix suggests the FOA is intended to attract multidisciplinary teams and diverse chronic-condition populations, including but not limited to diabetes and other long-term pediatric health conditions where ongoing self-management is essential.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations that can carry out research, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with the noted categories), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and various government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments), as well as independent school districts and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and capacity-building institution types and community-centered organizations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, it clearly restricts foreign involvement: non-U.S. entities cannot apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components are not allowed under NIH policy definitions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on December 11, 2013, with a creation date of February 21, 2014. The original and final closing date listed is January 7, 2017, and the archive date is February 7, 2017, meaning it is no longer open for new applications under that specific announcement. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health. For applicants or researchers seeking the historical details, the full archived announcement is linked through NIH at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-029.html, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact is provided for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
FAQs: Chronic Illness Self Management in Children and Adolescents (R01) - NIH
What is the "Chronic Illness Self Management in Children and Adolescents (R01)" opportunity?
This is an NIH research grant opportunity focused on strengthening the evidence base for how children and adolescents with chronic health conditions can manage day-to-day care more effectively and improve quality of life. It supports research on self-management as an ongoing responsibility for young people and their families, not a short-term task.
What is the main purpose of this FOA?
The FOA aims to encourage research that improves understanding of the processes that support pediatric chronic illness self-management and that leads to better quality of life. NIH signals interest in approaches that consider the many factors influencing self-management across childhood and adolescence rather than using narrow, one-size-fits-all strategies.
What does NIH mean by "self-management" in this announcement?
In this context, self-management includes how young patients and families handle treatment regimens, symptom monitoring, decision-making, and the practical and emotional demands of living with a chronic disease over time.
What outcomes are emphasized in the research focus?
The FOA broadly frames the research focus around self-management and quality of life, emphasizing both the behaviors/processes involved in managing chronic illness and the resulting quality-of-life outcomes for children and adolescents.
What kinds of influences on self-management does the FOA encourage researchers to examine?
The FOA highlights multiple interacting layers of influence, including:
- Individual differences (developmental stage, skills, motivation)
- Biological and psychological factors (mental health, stress, illness burden)
- Family and sociocultural context (caregiving structures, beliefs, language, social support)
- Wider systems and settings (family-community dynamics, healthcare system factors such as care coordination and access)
- Technology that supports monitoring or coaching
- Environmental influences that may support or undermine adherence and healthy routines
Is NIH looking for one-size-fits-all interventions?
No. The announcement explicitly encourages studies that move beyond narrow approaches and instead examine the full set of influences shaping self-management behaviors and outcomes across childhood and adolescence.
Why does the FOA emphasize childhood and adolescence?
The FOA emphasizes these life stages because self-management responsibilities and capabilities change across development, and chronic illness management is often lifelong. The announcement encourages research that recognizes these developmental differences and their impact on self-management and quality of life.
What grant mechanism does this opportunity use?
