UC San Diego receives three awards to support the national Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study. This study is a multi-site, NIH-funded study that will recruit 7,500 pregnant people across the U.S. and follow the mothers and their baby for 10 years to better understand infant and childhood neurodevelopment. The awards include serving as the Administrative Coordinating Center for all HBCD study sites (PIs: Christina Chambers, UC San Diego; and Charles Nelson, Harvard Medical School); serving as the Data Coordinating Center for all HBCD study sites (PIs: Anders Dale, UC San Diego; Damien Fair, University of Minnesota; and Chris Smyser, Washington University); and funding to support San Diego County as one of the study recruitment sites (PIs: Gretchen Bandoli and Sheila Gahagan, UC San Diego).
