Trials must be designed to test lifestyle interventions to control gestational weight gain and/or influence maternal metabolic profiles. Studies are expected to continue follow-up of mothers and their offspring for a minimum of 12 months post-partum. Weight and/or metabolic outcomes must be assessed in both mothers and offspring. Investigators funded through this FOA must be willing to collaborate to develop a minimal set of common outcomes and to share data. Studies in minority and socio-economically disadvantaged populations are particularly encouraged.
