BackgroundNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal ICU with minimal progress in the research.MethodsFederal webpages were queried to look for funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) and to develop lists of funded projects on NEC to identify gaps in NEC-related research topics.ResultsOver the past 30 years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued two FOAs to stimulate research on NEC with $4.1 million set aside for the first year of respective funding. We identified 23 recently funded studies of which 18 were research projects, 4 training grants, and 1 conference grant support. Only one grant focused on parent and family engagement in the NICU.ConclusionThere are significant research gaps that can be addressed with adequate funding from the federal government on the prevention and treatment of NEC.
