Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Research on Children in Military Families: The Impact of Parental Military Deployment and Reintegration on Child and Family Functioning (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 11-200), was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a discretionary grant program to support research on how a parent’s military deployment, combat-related stress, and the transition back into family life affect children and overall family functioning. The central goal is to build a stronger, more evidence-based understanding of the ways military service-related separations and reunifications shape children’s social and emotional development, as well as the health and stability of the family system. NIH specifically highlights the value of interdisciplinary work, signaling that competitive projects could draw from areas like developmental psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, social work, education, public health, family systems research, and related fields.
A major emphasis of the announcement is on encouraging longitudinal, prospective studies that follow families over time rather than relying only on one-time snapshots. This reflects a recognized gap in the research literature: without repeated measurement before, during, and after deployment and reintegration periods, it is difficult to tease apart short-term reactions from longer-term developmental shifts or to identify which stressors matter most at different stages. The FOA also stresses the importance of diverse samples, suggesting interest in research that reflects the real variation across military families, including differences in service branch, component (Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard), deployment length and frequency, combat exposure, rank and socioeconomic context, family composition, and cultural or community factors. Alongside longer-term studies, the FOA also welcomes descriptive research focused on the distinct concerns of early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence, recognizing that children’s developmental needs and vulnerabilities are not the same across age groups.
From an outcomes standpoint, the opportunity targets both child and family domains. On the child side, it prioritizes social and affective development, which can include areas such as emotion regulation, anxiety and depressive symptoms, behavioral adjustment, peer relationships, school engagement, resilience, and other markers of social-emotional functioning. On the family side, it points to family functioning more broadly, which can encompass parent-child relationships, couple functioning, parenting practices, family communication, household routines, stress processes, and the ways families adapt during deployment cycles and reintegration. The inclusion of combat-related stress and reintegration highlights interest not only in the separation period but also in what happens when the deployed parent returns, a phase that can involve renegotiating roles, rebuilding connection, and managing service-related stressors that may affect parenting and family dynamics.
Administratively, this was an NIH R01 grant opportunity, meaning it supported investigator-initiated research projects typically suited for well-developed study designs with strong preliminary justification and clear public health or developmental significance. The opportunity listed relevant CFDA numbers 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), indicating alignment with NIH institutes and portfolios concerned with child development and potentially with behavioral health risks that may arise in the context of family stress and transitions. The FOA did not require cost sharing or matching.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based organizations. Applicants could include for-profit entities (including small businesses), nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public housing authorities, and tribal governments and tribal organizations. It also explicitly referenced eligibility for entities such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign (non-U.S.) entities were not eligible to apply, though foreign components of U.S. organizations were allowable, which can matter for studies that involve collaboration or data elements outside the United States while maintaining a U.S. applicant institution as the grantee.
In terms of timing, the FOA was posted and created on April 13, 2011, with an original and final closing date of May 7, 2014, and an archive date of June 7, 2014. The official announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide, and the listed support contact for access or linking issues was the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title and funding opportunity number for this grant?
The opportunity is titled "Research on Children in Military Families: The Impact of Parental Military Deployment and Reintegration on Child and Family Functioning (R01)." The Funding Opportunity Number is PA 11-200.
Which federal agency issued this funding opportunity?
This funding opportunity was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a discretionary grant program.
What type of grant mechanism is this?
This is an NIH R01 funding opportunity, intended for investigator-initiated research projects that are typically based on well-developed study designs with strong justification and clear significance.
What is the central purpose of this FOA?
The central goal is to support research that builds a stronger evidence base on how a parent's military deployment, combat-related stress, and reintegration into family life affect children and overall family functioning.
What kinds of family experiences does the FOA focus on?
The FOA focuses on military service-related separations and reunifications, including deployment periods and the transition back into family life (reintegration), with attention to combat-related stress and how it may shape parenting and family dynamics.
What child outcomes does the opportunity prioritize?
The opportunity prioritizes children's social and affective development. Examples named or implied include emotion regulation, anxiety and depressive symptoms, behavioral adjustment, peer relationships, school engagement, resilience, and other indicators of social-emotional functioning.
What family-level outcomes are within scope?
Family functioning is a key target area. Examples include parent-child relationships, couple functioning, parenting practices, family communication, household routines, stress processes, and how families adapt across deployment cycles and reintegration.
Does the FOA emphasize deployment only, or also the period after the parent returns?
It emphasizes both. NIH highlights deployment as well as reintegration, recognizing that the return home can involve renegotiating roles, rebuilding connection, and managing service-related stressors that can affect parenting and family stability.
What kinds of research designs are especially encouraged?
The FOA strongly encourages longitudinal, prospective studies that follow families over time (for example, with repeated measurement before, during, and after deployment and reintegration), rather than relying only on one-time cross-sectional snapshots.
Why does the FOA encourage longitudinal and prospective approaches?
The FOA points to a gap in the literature: without repeated measurement across key phases of deployment and reintegration, it can be difficult to distinguish short-term reactions from longer-term developmental changes or to identify which stressors matter most at different stages.
Are descriptive studies allowed, or only longitudinal studies?
Alongside longer-term longitudinal studies, the FOA also welcomes descriptive research, including work focused on distinct concerns at different developmental stages.
