The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Understanding the Impact of Healthcare System and Clinician Factors on Disparities in Maternal Morbidity and Mortality," inviting researchers to apply for R01 grants. This initiative aims to support innovative research that addresses maternal health disparities, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, and underserved populations in the United States, focusing on the multifaceted influences of healthcare access, quality, and social determinants of health. The funding aligns with the NIH's IMPROVE Initiative, which seeks to reduce preventable maternal deaths and improve health outcomes before, during, and after delivery, with applications due by February 5, 2024, and potential funding for projects lasting up to five years.
