The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on the impact of technology and digital media on children and adolescents. The initiative aims to address the expanding gap in understanding the impacts of technology and digital media on children's health and development. The NOFO will utilize a phased R61/R33 mechanism, and investigators with interests at the intersection of technology and digital media and child/adolescent development are encouraged to apply. • The research will focus on the impact of technology and digital media on children's health and development. • The initiative will utilize a phased R61/R33 mechanism. • Collaborative teams that combine expertise across domains such as behavioral sciences, cognition and learning, computational and statistical modeling, computer science, geographic information science, library and information sciences, neurodevelopment, pediatrics, social and affective development, and social sciences will be encouraged. • Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed. • The estimated funding for this opportunity is $3,000,000.
