This grant is for supporting vital research into obstetric fistula, a devastating maternal and child health issue particularly prevalent in developing countries. It encourages applications proposing to investigate diverse epidemiologic, clinical, social, and behavioral interventions. The primary purpose is to improve the identification, prevention, treatment, and social circumstances for women at risk for or living with obstetric fistula. Importantly, this funding complements existing programmatic efforts to deliver better and more timely healthcare during labor, delivery, and postpartum, rather than focusing on service delivery directly. This initiative seeks multiple innovative research approaches to significantly reduce the severe impact obstetric fistula has on women and children worldwide.

| Description: | The purpose of this FOA is to encourage research applications that propose to investigate epidemiologic, clinical, social, and behavioral interventions to improve the identification, prevention, treatment, and social circumstances of women at risk for or with obstetric fistula.The purpose of this FOA is not to address service delivery issues that have been outlined in the obstetric fistula program development materials distributed by WHO although it is recognized that improving financial access to care, transportation of women in labor, and obstetric service coverage is critical for reducing and eliminating the obstetric fistula rate.Rather, this FOA requests research applications that complement the programmatic efforts to deliver better and more timely health care during labor, delivery, and post partum.Obstetric fistula is a critical maternal and child health issue in developing countries.Multiple approaches including both improving emergency obstetric care and improved clinical, social and behavioral care are needed to reduce its toll on women and children. |
