Research on the consequences of adolescent pregnancy and childbearing.

Abstract

In this request for proposal (RFP) we are requesting research on the social, psychological, and economic consequences of adolescent fertility as they may be measured with available data. Proposals that include the collection of original data would not be responsive to the requirements of the RFP. Consequences may refer to the woman involved, the child, the man or father, the families of those involved, or society in general. Clarification of the determinants of adolescent pregnancy and childbearing will be sought through other requests for proposals. Proposals are sought from a variety of disciplines: sociology, demography, psychology, anthropology, and others concerned with human development and family and social welfare. The RFP was issued on January 15, 1976. The closing date for receipt of proposals submitted under the RFP will be March 5, 1976. Only those sources which have been technically evaluated as qualified will be requested to submit proposals. Copies of the RFP may be obtained by sending a written request to Mack Bell, Contracting Officer, Contracts Management Section, Office of Grants and Contracts, National Institute of Child Health and Development, Landow Building, Room C-625, Bethesda, Maryland 20014.
