Opportunity Summary:
Pregnancy in Women with Disabilities (R01) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-258) is an NIH discretionary grant opportunity led by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). It uses the R01 research project grant mechanism to support studies that build solid evidence on how pregnancy unfolds for women with disabilities, including how often pregnancy occurs in these populations, what the typical clinical course looks like, and which maternal, fetal, and family outcomes are most affected. The overall aim is to strengthen the knowledge base needed to improve care and reduce preventable risks for pregnant and postpartum women with physical, intellectual and developmental, and/or sensory disabilities.
The research scope is intentionally broad and clinically grounded. Projects are encouraged to examine the full timeline from preconception through pregnancy, the puerperium (the postpartum period), and the transition to parenthood. A major focus is on generating findings that can directly inform preconception and antenatal counseling, including what information clinicians should provide, how counseling can be tailored to different disability types and functional needs, and how shared decision-making can be improved. The FOA also highlights the need for practical strategies to identify and address barriers to prenatal care and pregnancy management. Those barriers can include access issues (transportation, physical accessibility of clinics and equipment, communication barriers for sensory disabilities), care coordination challenges, clinician training gaps, and social or systemic factors that may limit timely, respectful, and effective maternity care.
Another central element is improving management approaches during pregnancy and postpartum in ways that optimize outcomes for women with disabilities and their families. This includes studying healthcare practices that support safe pregnancy monitoring, delivery planning, postpartum recovery, and the early parenting period, as well as services that promote health, functioning, and family well-being. The opportunity explicitly encourages applicants to include women with disabilities and community members in the design and conduct of the research, signaling an emphasis on community-engaged approaches that reflect lived experience, improve recruitment and retention, and ensure outcomes measured are meaningful to the people most affected.
In terms of eligibility, PAR-11-258 is open to a wide range of applicants across government, education, nonprofit, and private sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities); public housing authorities; and tribal governments and tribal organizations (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized). The FOA also notes eligibility for a variety of institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) may apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also eligible. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching.
Key administrative details include the posted date and creation date of July 19, 2011, an original and current closing date of September 7, 2014, and an archive date of October 8, 2014. The relevant CFDA numbers listed are 93.361 (Nursing Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research).
