The Maternal and Child Health Bureau is offering this grant to establish an interdisciplinary research network focused on promoting healthy weight among children with autism spectrum disorders and other special health care needs. The grant aims to address the prevalence of overweight and obesity, key risk factors, obesity-related health conditions, and effective intervention programs. Applicants are encouraged to target underserved populations and ensure cultural and linguistic responsiveness in research activities, following HRSA’s mission. The network will conduct research, develop interventions, and disseminate findings through various means to benefit children, families, health professionals, policymakers, and the public. Closing date for applications is February 4, 2013.

| Description:: | The purpose of the MCH Research Network on Promoting Healthy Weight (HW-RN) among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other Special Health Care Needs is to establish an interdisciplinary research network that will lead and promote coordinated research activities related to promoting healthy weight among children and youth with autism spectrum disorders and other special health care needs.[[]1] Special needs populations include, but are not limited to, children and youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, and spina bifida. Special needs populations have shown to be at increased risk for being overweight or obese and having obesity-related chronic and secondary health conditions. Areas of particular concern include, but are not limited to:
Need for better knowledge and understanding about the scope of overweight and obesity, key factors contributing to the possible increased risk, and obesity-related chronic and secondary health conditions among children and adolescents with special health care needs; The Network will: Be an interdisciplinary network of national experts that will identify gaps in knowledge and develop a research agenda through the use of evidence-based design to promote healthy weight by preventing and treating overweight and obesity among children and youth with ASD and other special health care needs. The interdisciplinary network of researchers must include those with expertise in pediatric obesity research and those with expertise in relevant special needs populations. Depending on the research agenda proposed, the network may also include experts in health education and promotion, epidemiology, health psychology, health services and administration; Consistent with HRSAs mission as the access agency to provide services to underserved populations, applicants for the HW-RN should describe network activities that will address the needs of underserved populations, such as low-income, racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants, individuals who have limited access to services, and/or other underserved populations as defined by the applicant. The Maternal and Child Health Bureaus intent is to ensure that research activities are responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of special populations, that services are family-centered and accessible to consumers, and that the broadest possible representation of culturally distinct and historically underrepresented groups is supported through programs and projects sponsored by the MCHB. |
