The NICHD is offering the Obstetric Pharmacology Research Units (U10) grant to establish a network of research units focusing on pharmacologic studies during pregnancies. This grant aims to conduct cooperative clinical studies, investigate fetal, placental, and maternal pharmacology, study the impact of pregnancy on drug metabolism, and enhance collaborations between scientists and obstetricians. Additionally, the grant will support the training of health professionals in obstetric pharmacology and clinical trials involving pregnant women. Applications are accepted until March 30, 2009.

| Description: | Purpose. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) invites applications to participate in the Obstetric Pharmacology Research Units (OPRU) Network to serve as a resource for performance of pharmacologic studies of drug disposition and effect during normal and abnormal pregnancies. Within the Network, the OPRUs will: (1) conduct multi-site cooperative clinical studies of therapeutic modalities used during pregnancy; (2) conduct studies of fetal, placental and maternal pharmacology; (3) conduct studies on the effect of pregnancy on drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters and effectors, including interactions with pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics; (4) facilitate the collection and utilization of clinical materials for basic research studies; and (5) perform studies of placental metabolism and transfer of drugs; (6) enhance the exchange of information between basic scientists and obstetricians and among various specialists involved in treating pregnant women; (7) promote collaborations in interdisciplinary translational research. The Network will also serve as a resource for the training of health professionals, including pre- and post-doctoral fellows and PharmDs, in obstetric pharmacology, pharmacogenomics and clinical trials in pregnant women. |
