Opportunity Summary:
The Studies in Neonatal and Pediatric Resuscitation (R21) funding opportunity (PA 14-349) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program that supports exploratory, early-stage research focused on patient safety for newborns and children. The overall aim is to generate practical knowledge that can reduce medical errors and prevent avoidable harm in perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric care, including both routine hospital environments and higher-risk intensive care unit settings. Projects are expected to be collaborative in nature and to contribute evidence that can be translated into safer, higher-quality care for infants and children.
The scientific scope is broad and emphasizes understanding and improving safety during care and resuscitation-related contexts. The announcement specifically invites studies on the epidemiology of medical errors (how often errors happen, what types occur, and in which settings), the downstream patient harm associated with those errors, and the multilevel factors that contribute to unsafe events. These contributing factors can be examined at the individual level (such as clinician decision-making, training, fatigue, communication, or teamwork), at the systems level (such as workflow design, handoffs, staffing patterns, equipment usability, or health IT and documentation), and at the institutional level (such as organizational culture, protocols, quality improvement infrastructure, or policies). In addition to identifying problems, the FOA encourages intervention strategies designed to reduce or eliminate errors, including interventions targeted at clinicians, care teams, clinical systems, and broader hospital or health system practices.
This opportunity uses the NIH R21 mechanism, which is commonly used to support innovative, high-impact pilot work, feasibility studies, and other exploratory research that can lay the foundation for larger future trials or definitive studies. The listed award ceiling is $275,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Health, and it falls under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), reflecting its alignment with pediatric and neonatal health priorities.
Eligibility is expansive and includes many types of U.S. and non-U.S. applicants. Eligible domestic applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; small businesses; and other for-profit organizations besides small businesses. The FOA also allows applications from federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. In addition, a range of mission-focused institutions and organizations are explicitly included, such as 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 Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. International participation is permitted: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 25, 2014 (created September 26, 2014). The original and current closing date listed is January 7, 2018, and the archive date is February 7, 2018, meaning the announcement is no longer active for new submissions under those dates.

For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the listed contact is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
In practical terms, this FOA was designed to build the evidence base for safer neonatal and pediatric care by supporting studies that (1) measure and characterize safety problems, (2) explain why and where they occur across clinical and organizational layers, and (3) test interventions that can meaningfully reduce errors and harm in real-world hospital and intensive care settings.
