Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Research on Children in Military Families: The Impact of Parental Military Deployment and Reintegration on Child and Family Functioning (R13)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-201), is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed specifically to support conferences and scientific meetings rather than traditional research projects. Its central aim is to bring together interdisciplinary experts to examine major unresolved questions about how a parent’s military deployment, combat-related stress, and the reintegration period after deployment affect children’s social and emotional development, as well as broader family functioning. In practice, the program is meant to catalyze focused discussion, synthesize existing evidence, identify gaps in knowledge, and help shape future research agendas and collaborations in a field where families may face unique and time-sensitive stressors.
The scope of the meeting topics is clearly oriented toward child development and family systems in the context of military life. The opportunity emphasizes child social and affective (emotional) development outcomes, which can include areas such as behavioral adjustment, emotional regulation, anxiety and depression symptoms, peer relationships, school functioning, and resilience factors that protect children during periods of separation and family change. On the family side, the announcement points to functioning during deployment and reintegration, which commonly includes parenting practices, couple relationships, communication patterns, household routines, the distribution of caregiving responsibilities, and the cumulative impact of stress on the family environment. By explicitly highlighting combat-related stress and reintegration, the opportunity signals interest in the transition period when the deployed parent returns home, as this phase can involve readjustment challenges, mental health concerns, and shifts in roles that may influence children and caregivers in different ways than deployment itself.
Because this is an R13 mechanism, applicants are generally proposing a well-structured conference or meeting plan with defined objectives and a strong rationale for why convening experts is necessary to advance the science. The intent is not simply to host a general symposium, but to run a meeting that is intentionally built around critical questions, methodological challenges, and cross-disciplinary integration. Interdisciplinary participation is a central theme, which typically means drawing from fields such as developmental psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, public health, education, social work, family science, epidemiology, health services research, and potentially military and veteran health research. A competitive conference concept under this opportunity would normally include a clear agenda, thoughtful speaker selection, planned outputs (for example, consensus statements, proceedings, special journal issues, or research roadmaps), and attention to how the meeting will move the field forward.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a grant in the areas of Education, Health, Income Security, and Social Services, reflecting the broad public impact of the topic. The CFDA numbers listed are 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), which indicates alignment with NIH institutes and programs concerned with child development, health, and related behavioral outcomes that can co-occur with family stress. The listing states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though applicants may still choose to leverage partner support if it strengthens the conference plan).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (with the exception that for-profits other than small businesses are also listed as eligible). Government entities at multiple levels may apply, including state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The opportunity also includes eligibility for Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), as well as a range of mission-focused institutions and community organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign organizations are not eligible to apply as non-domestic entities; however, foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed, which typically means a U.S. applicant can include certain international collaboration elements if they are part of the U.S. organization’s overall project structure and meet NIH policy requirements.
The key dates in the listing show a posted date of April 13, 2011, with an original closing date of May 7, 2014, but the record also shows a current closing date of April 27, 2012 and an archive date of May 27, 2012. This combination of dates indicates the announcement is archived and no longer open for applications in its original form, but it remains useful as a reference point for the kind of NIH conference support that has been available for this topic area. For anyone seeking to pursue similar funding now, the best practical takeaway is the structure and priorities: NIH has explicitly supported convenings focused on understanding deployment and reintegration effects on children and families, and similar opportunities may exist through current NIH R13 announcements or related institute-specific notices.
