Lifestyle Interventions in Overweight and Obese Pregnant Women Consortium Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) (U01): This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), invites cooperative agreement grant applications from institutions to function as the Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) for the Lifestyle Interventions in Pregnancy Clinical Trials Consortium. This FOA runs parallel with a separate Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) that solicits applications for clinical trials (see RFA-DK-10-014). The purpose of the RCU is to promote collaboration, coordination and exchange of scientific information among investigators conducting lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women. The ultimate goal of the program is to conduct studies testing behavioral/lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women designed to improve weight and metabolic outcomes in both the pregnant women and their offspring. Among other tasks, the RCU will facilitate collaboration and coordination of research activities, communication between and among Centers and the NIDDK, and data sharing and collaborative manuscripts. In addition, the RCU will plan, arrange, and support meetings/conference calls of the Steering Committee and its subcommittees and the DSMB.
