March of Dimes is committed to advancing the health of all moms and babies, and that involves seeking answers through a diverse research portfolio. We are actively seeking applications for research grant funding that involve translational and actionable science that will lead directly to interventions or preventions. Our goal is to turn observations in the laboratory, clinic, and community into interventions, therapeutics, and diagnostics that improve the health of moms and babies. We are also committed to learning about differences in populations integrated into key research areas.
The proposed research should focus on one of these priority areas:
Deadline: Sep. 10, 2021
We invite submissions from health professionals, health researchers, epidemiologists and social scientists with doctoral academic degrees, and either a faculty appointment or equivalent at academic universities, hospitals and research institutions; or employees of small businesses, startup companies, non-profit organizations or pharmaceutical companies committed to research in the area of maternal and child health. Individual from underrepresented and disadvantaged groups are encouraged to apply. These applications are not limited to U.S. citizens and are open to global applicants. Applicants may not hold any other concurrent March of Dimes grants when applying.
Applicants may only submit one application, listed as a PI or Co-PI.
We anticipate making at least two awards in each category, with each ranging from $200,000 - $300,000. Grants will be distributed for 24 months to 36 months, with a set of deliverables to be met for each year, before the next year’s support can be distributed.
