Grant Description: -Purpose. The goal of this FOA is to develop new knowledge to support the development of an evidence-based program to improve global policy and guide the implementation of programs designed to prevent and treat iron deficiency disorders. Through the solicitation of high quality applications this FOA is intended to address those factors affecting the safe and effective use of iron interventions for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency and anemia in women of reproductive age (including adolescent girls), infants, and children, particularly in areas of endemic malaria. Priority research questions related to the interaction of iron and malaria have been identified through direct engagement of the global health community, and agencies responsible for setting policy and implementing nutrition and malaria control programs, as well as scientists from relevant disciplines impacting on this issue. -This FOA will solicit applications in three core priority areas: 1) mechanisms: what are the key mechanisms by which iron status and interventions that may impact on that status can influence host immunity and response to malaria and other infections? 2) biomarkers: what are the most suitable indicators of iron status that can be used particularly, but not limited to, in resource limited settings and how do these relate to disease outcome?, and 3) interventions: what are the safest and most effective interventions to prevent and treat iron deficiency in women, infants and children in areas of endemic malaria?
