Grant Description: -The NICHD invites applications from investigators willing to participate under a cooperative agreement in a multi-site research consortium designed to perform experimental or quasi-experimental efficacy trials on integrative early childhood programmatic approaches that promote school readiness for children ages 3-5 who are English Language Learners (ELL) and at-risk for later school difficulties. The purpose of this solicitation is to increase our understanding of the types of integrative programmatic approaches that promote ELL child learning and development across multiple domains of early childhood competence, as well as those that address teacher and parent behaviors that promote ELL children s development in these areas. It is expected that projects will identify causal connections between specific programmatic approaches and specific ELL child competencies, and that the research studies and programs stimulated by this consortium will contribute scientific data that bear directly on a number of public policy issues and instructional practices as well as more broadly informing developmental science. -The NICHD intends to commit approximately $3 million in total costs [Direct plus Facilities and Administrative (F and A) costs] in FY 2008 to fund three to four new grants in response to this RFA. A data center will be funded under a separate competition by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Similar research projects funded by ACF within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the Department of Education (ED) will be invited to participate in consortium activities. Additional funds are being sought from other sources. -This funding opportunity will use the NIH Cooperative Research Project Grant (U01) award mechanism.
