Grant Description
Cooperative agreements to USA IHEs, Tribes, and nonprofit organizations for research to investigate disparities in maternal mortality rates. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take up to one month to complete. Funding is intended to conduct research, disseminate the findings, and implement changes to increase health equity for women from minority populations.

The goal of the RCs is to build the capacity for MSIs to conduct quantitative and/or qualitative maternal health research to fully understand and address the root causes of disparities in maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and maternal health outcomes, and to find community-based solutions to address these disparities and advance health equity.

The following objectives should be accomplished by the end of the period of performance:

  1. Plan and implement applied maternal health disparity research studies described in the NOFO and develop community-based solutions.
  2. Demonstrate increased maternal health disparity research capacity in MSIs.
  3. Develop manuscripts to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
  4. Disseminate and translate research findings into practice.
  5. Submit at least one grant funding proposal external to HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) at the end of the project to sustain the work beyond the funding period.
