Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity announcement PAR-14-354, titled "Pregnancy in Women with Disabilities (R01)," invited applications for NIH Research Project Grants (R01) focused on better understanding pregnancy among women with disabilities. The core purpose of the opportunity was to support research that clarifies how often pregnancy occurs in women with disabilities, how pregnancy progresses (including medical and psychosocial course), and what outcomes result for the pregnant person, the infant, and the family. The FOA emphasized that disability is not a single category and specifically called attention to physical disabilities, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and sensory disabilities, reflecting a broad interest in the distinct needs and experiences across disability communities.
A major theme of the announcement was improving both evidence and practice across the full reproductive timeline. NIH encouraged studies that can strengthen preconception counseling (before pregnancy) and antenatal counseling (during pregnancy), including work that helps clinicians and patients make informed decisions, anticipate risks, and plan supports. The FOA also highlighted the importance of identifying and addressing barriers to prenatal care, which can include practical access barriers (transportation, accessible exam tables and imaging, communication access for Deaf or hard-of-hearing patients, or accessible health information) as well as systemic and interpersonal barriers (limited clinician training, stigma, fragmented care, and inadequate care coordination). In addition, the announcement encouraged research on management of pregnancy, the puerperium (the postpartum period), and the transition to parenthood, with an emphasis on strategies that optimize health and well-being outcomes not only for the woman with a disability but also for infants and family systems.
Another distinctive expectation in this FOA was the encouragement to meaningfully involve women with disabilities and community members in the design and conduct of the research. This signals a preference for community-engaged approaches that incorporate lived experience into research questions, study design, recruitment, measurement, interpretation, and dissemination, with the goal of producing findings that are relevant, usable, and respectful. Projects could reasonably include observational studies describing incidence and outcomes, health services research examining access and quality of care, intervention development and testing aimed at improving counseling or care pathways, or implementation-focused work to reduce barriers and improve clinical practice, depending on the specific aims and methods proposed.
Administratively, this was a discretionary NIH grant opportunity using the R01 mechanism within the Health category, tied to CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), indicating alignment with maternal and child health priorities. The FOA did not require cost sharing or matching. The announcement was posted and created on October 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2017, and it was archived on February 7, 2017.
Eligibility was broad and included many U.S.-based organization types such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), small businesses, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), and multiple levels of government (city/township, county, state), as well as special district governments and independent school districts. It also included tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and a range of mission-focused institution types such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISIs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and tribally controlled colleges and universities. Importantly, non-U.S. entities were also eligible to apply, including foreign organizations and foreign institutions, and foreign components were allowed under NIH policy, which opened the door to international or multinational research where appropriate.
