The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant to support innovative, multidisciplinary research aimed at understanding and addressing maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States. This funding opportunity specifically targets understudied healthcare system and clinician factors that contribute to disparities, especially among racial/ethnic minority, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and underserved rural populations. Aligned with the NIH IMPROVE Initiative, the grant seeks to build an evidence base for improved maternal care and outcomes. It emphasizes research to reduce preventable maternal deaths and enhance health before, during, and after delivery, with a crucial focus on health disparities affecting vulnerable groups, including young, advanced maternal age, and disabled individuals.
