NIH Grant Awarded
I love this project. This is such a great cause and it is pioneering a new educational media, using actual Science procedures for cause awareness. The NIH SBIR funded grant was awarded and we have begun the 1st phase of development. What a long process it is to get a grant funded! The Grant Project title is "Preventing the Tragedy of FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder): A Curriculum for Health & Science. A team of UNC Researchers and PIVOT will create an engaging DVD engaging and teaching kids through science how alcohol effects the development of a human embryo.
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a disorder that can occur to the embryo when a pregnant woman ingests alcohol during pregnancy. An ingestion of alcohol does not always result in FAS. The current recommendation of the US Surgeon General is not to drink alcohol at all during pregnancy.
