Applications for NIH Funding of Studies on
Racial Disparities in Maternal Morbidity
and Mortality Due Soon

Women in the United States experience maternal morbidity and mortality (MMM) at much higher rates than those in our peer nations, and American women who are racial and ethnic minorities experience much higher rates of MMM than American White women. To address this concerning issue, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released a request for applications (RFA) titled Addressing Racial Disparities in Maternal Mortality and Morbidity (RFA-MD-20-008).This funding opportunity is designed to support multidisciplinary research examining mechanisms underlying these racial and ethnic disparities, evaluating the efficacy and/or effectiveness of multilevel interventions, and/or testing strategies to optimally and sustainably deliver proven-effective prevention and treatment interventions to reduce these disparities.
