To provide research support specifically limited in time and amount for studies in categorical program areas. Small grants provide flexibility for initiating studies which are generally for preliminary short-term projects and are non-renewable. |
Risk and Resilence in Children of Incarcerated Mothers @ University of Wisconsin Madison
The proposed research will investigate problematic development and resilience in children who have experienced multiple risks to their cognitive and behavioral development and attachment relationships in an understudied population: children of incarcerated mothers. In addition to involuntary separation from their mothers, many of these children experience a history of living in poverty and maternal substance abuse. However, these risks may be buffered or exacerbated by variables in the child's current environment, including ongoing contact with the mother, stimulation available in the home environment, and characteristics of the substitute caregiver, such as depressive symptoms, physical health, and satisfaction with social support. In addition to providing to providing valuable information about the growing population of children of incarcerated mothers, the proposed study will extend our knowledge about attachment relationships and child development or resilience in children who have experienced multiple environmental risk factors, and 2) by documenting the development of young children who have non maternal caregivers due to temporary separation from mothers. Funding is sought under the RO3 mechanism because the principal investigator is a new investigator and so that the validity of the proposed analytic model can be determined.

Development of Self-Regulation in High Risk Infants @ University of Wisconsin Madison
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study investigates early social and physiological processes involved in the development of self regulation and its relation to infant-mother attachment and cognitive development in high risk infants who vary in their level of neonatal medical risk. The research has a longitudinal design that follows infants from hospital discharge until they are 2 years (corrected for gestational age) and involves data collected from children and families using multiple methods in multiple contexts. The study has 4 specific aims: (1) to examine 3 preverbal predictors of high risk infants' self-regulation, including neurophysiological modulation (early cardiorespiratory processes), quality of mutual regulation (parent-infant interaction), and infant self regulatory disposition (temperament), (2) to investigate parent-infant interaction quality over time as a mediator of the relation between infant/maternal characteristics and infants' cognitive and social outcomes, (3) to identify whether infants varying in risk levels and temperament are differentially susceptible to negative parenting associated with chronic maternal depression, and (4) to identify relations among attachment, cognitive abilities, and self-regulation in high risk infants. [unreadable] [unreadable] The proposed investigation will advance the field of developmental psychopathology by examining longitudinal processes involved in the development of early self-regulation and will extend our knowledge in 3 ways: (1) identification of how infants' perinatal medical risks and early heart rate variability directly and indirectly predict developmental outcomes, (2) testing a model that specifies parent-infant interaction quality as a mediator of the relation between infant neonatal risks, maternal depressive symptoms, and infant developmental outcomes, which has implications for preventive interventions with high risk infants, and (3) identification of relations among self-regulational capacities, attachment relationships and cognitive development in high risk infants, which may provide suggestions for extending developmental follow-up evaluations of NICU graduates to include screening dyadic interactions.

M01Activity Code Description:
An award made to an institution solely for the support of a General Clinical Research Center where scientists conduct studies on a wide range of human diseases using the full spectrum of the biomedical sciences. Costs underwritten by these grants include those for renovation, for operational expenses such as staff salaries, equipment, and supplies, and for hospitalization. A General Clinical Research Center is a discrete unit of research beds separated from the general care wards. |
