Opportunity Summary:
The Studies in Neonatal and Pediatric Resuscitation (R03) funding opportunity (PA-14-351) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to support small, focused research projects that improve patient safety for mothers, newborns, and children, including in high-acuity environments like neonatal and pediatric intensive care units as well as in routine hospital care settings. The central purpose of the announcement was to encourage collaborative research that helps the field better understand where and why preventable harm occurs in perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric care, and to develop practical ways to reduce medical errors and their downstream consequences. While the title highlights neonatal and pediatric resuscitation, the description places broader emphasis on patient safety research across the continuum of perinatal and pediatric care, particularly where clinical complexity, urgent decision-making, and multi-team coordination create risk.
The FOA invited projects across several major themes. One major area was epidemiology and measurement: studies that quantify the frequency, types, and patterns of medical errors and adverse events (for example, medication errors, communication breakdowns, procedural complications, delays in recognition or escalation of care, or system-level failures) and the patient harm that can follow. Another key area was identifying contributing factors at multiple levels, including individual clinician factors (training, fatigue, cognitive load), team and workflow factors (handoffs, role clarity, resuscitation team coordination), and broader organizational and institutional contributors (policies, staffing models, safety culture, equipment availability, and the design of clinical environments). The FOA also encouraged intervention-oriented work, including strategies implemented at the level of individuals, teams, clinical systems, or institutions. These could include testing new safety protocols, checklists, simulation-based training approaches, decision support tools, redesigned workflows, or other quality and safety interventions aimed at preventing errors or catching them earlier. The intended payoff was actionable knowledge that can be translated into safer, higher-quality care for newborns and children, with an emphasis on effectiveness and reliability in real clinical settings.
Mechanistically, this opportunity used the NIH R03 mechanism, which is typically meant for smaller, discrete projects such as pilot studies, feasibility studies, secondary analyses, instrument development, or other early-stage work that can generate data needed for larger future trials or multi-site studies. The listed award ceiling in the provided source data was $50,000, reflecting a modest funding level consistent with the exploratory nature of many R03 projects. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation more feasible for a wide range of organizations.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of U.S. and non-U.S. applicants. Eligible applicants included small businesses, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), public and private institutions of higher education, and a wide range of government entities (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities). The eligibility list also specifically recognized many mission-driven and capacity-building institution types and communities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. Importantly, foreign organizations and foreign institutions were eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations were allowed as defined by NIH policy, signaling openness to international collaboration and global learning about neonatal and pediatric safety challenges.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was cataloged under CFDA number 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) and was posted in late September 2014. The original and final closing date listed was January 7, 2018, and the opportunity was archived on February 7, 2018, meaning it is no longer accepting applications under that specific announcement. Applicants or interested parties were directed to the NIH funding announcement page for full details, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact was provided for technical access or linking issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Studies in Neonatal and Pediatric Resuscitation (R03) funding opportunity (PA-14-351)?
PA-14-351 was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity that supported small, focused research projects aimed at improving patient safety for mothers, newborns, and children. Although the title references neonatal and pediatric resuscitation, the description emphasizes broader patient safety research across perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric care settings.
What was the main goal of this funding opportunity?
The central purpose was to encourage collaborative research that helps the field better understand where and why preventable harm occurs in perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric care, and to develop practical approaches to reduce medical errors and the downstream consequences of those errors.
Does this program only fund neonatal and pediatric resuscitation research?
No. While neonatal and pediatric resuscitation is highlighted in the title, the program description places broader emphasis on patient safety research across the continuum of perinatal and pediatric care, particularly in settings where clinical complexity, urgent decision-making, and multi-team coordination increase risk.
What types of care environments were emphasized?
The opportunity emphasized high-acuity environments such as neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, as well as routine hospital care settings where mothers, newborns, and children receive care.
What research themes were encouraged under this FOA?
The FOA invited projects across several major themes, including (1) epidemiology and measurement of errors and adverse events, (2) identifying contributing factors at clinician, team/workflow, and organizational levels, and (3) intervention-oriented research that tests strategies to prevent errors or detect them earlier in real clinical settings.
What kinds of patient safety problems or events were within scope?
Examples mentioned include medication errors, communication breakdowns, procedural complications, delays in recognition or escalation of care, and system-level failures, along with the patient harm that can follow.
What does "epidemiology and measurement" mean in this context?
In this FOA, epidemiology and measurement refers to studies that quantify the frequency, types, and patterns of medical errors and adverse events, as well as associated harm, in perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric care.
What kinds of contributing factors did the FOA encourage researchers to study?
The FOA encouraged research on contributing factors at multiple levels, including individual clinician factors (such as training, fatigue, and cognitive load), team and workflow factors (such as handoffs, role clarity, and resuscitation team coordination), and organizational or institutional factors (such as policies, staffing models, safety culture, equipment availability, and clinical environment design).
What types of interventions were considered relevant?
The FOA encouraged intervention-oriented work at the level of individuals, teams, clinical systems, or institutions. Examples included new safety protocols, checklists, simulation-based training approaches, decision support tools, redesigned workflows, and other quality and safety interventions intended to prevent errors or identify them sooner.
