Vida Awarded Grant to Study Childhood After Preterm Birth

(originally posted July 11. 2007)
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research grant to Vida Health Communications to study childhood after preterm birth.

The research will look at developing a training for pediatric providers to help them better understand about the likely needs of infants and toddlers who were born preterm in areas such as cognition, visual and motor skills, speech and language, and executive function. A companion educational component for parents of preterm infants is also planned.
