Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Human Factors or Education Grant

American Academy of Pediatrics

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program was initiated in 1987. Since that time, more than 4 million health care professionals have been trained as providers. The overall objective of the NRP® grant program is to identify the best ways to optimize care in the delivery room using NRP. Successful grant applications will address key gaps related to transitional physiology, evidence-based resuscitation intervention, teaching and evaluating the cognitive, technical and behavioral skills necessary for successful resuscitation of the newborn and retention of skills and knowledge over time. Applications focused primarily on quality improvement initiatives or educational dissemination without a clear educational research focus will not be considered. For example, funding will not be approved for:

Simulation equipment, such as manikins
Development of a simulation center
Computers
Routine NRP courses
Implementation and dissemination of the Helping Babies Breathe Program or resuscitation in low resource settings
Faculty salaries (including the primary investigator's) or indirect costs.

Initiatives can include addressing gaps in our understanding of transitional physiology and evidence-based resuscitation practice, teaching and evaluating the cognitive, technical and behavioral skills necessary for successful resuscitation of the newborn and retention of skills and knowledge over time.

NRP Human Factors or Education Grant (up to $15,000): Any health care professional with an interest in the impact of human factors on neonatal resuscitation or optimization of NRP education

AI Based Application Success Predictor

While AAP does not publish formal predictor datasets, analysis of funded projects and criteria reveals:

🥇 1. Strong Child Health Impact (Most Important)

Direct improvement in:
- Child outcomes
- Pediatric care delivery

✔ High success:

Preventive care
Early-life interventions
Public health pediatrics

🥈 2. Translational & Clinical Relevance

Preference for:
- Practical, real-world applications
- Studies that can influence guidelines

❌ Lower success:

Pure basic science without pediatric application

🥉 3. Health Equity & Community Focus

Very strong emphasis on:
- Underserved populations
- Social determinants of health

✔ Predictor:

Projects addressing disparities perform significantly better

4. Feasibility (Small Grant Structure)

Many AAP grants are:
- Pilot or early-stage

✔ Winning proposals:

Clear timeline (1–2 years)
Achievable goals

5. Strong Study Design

Preferred:
- Clinical studies
- Cohort studies
- Intervention trials

✔ Must include:

Clear methodology
Measurable outcomes

6. Early Career Investigator Advantage

Many AAP grants target:
- Residents
- Fellows
- Junior faculty

✔ Predictor:

Strong mentorship component

7. Policy or Practice Influence Potential

Projects likely to:
- Inform AAP guidelines
- Influence pediatric policy

📌 High-impact factor in review decisions

🧪 Common Funded Themes

Vaccination and infectious diseases
Neonatal care
Nutrition & obesity
Mental health in children
Injury prevention
Developmental disorders

⚠️ Common Reasons for Rejection

Weak pediatric focus
Lack of clinical relevance
Overly ambitious for funding size
Poor methodology
No clear impact on child health

🧠 Bottom Line

✔ Top predictors of success:

Direct benefit to child health
Strong clinical/translational relevance
Focus on health equity
Feasible, well-designed project
Potential to influence pediatric practice or policy

Specialties
