This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant is for research applications investigating obstetric fistula. Its purpose is to encourage studies into epidemiologic, clinical, social, and behavioral interventions aimed at improving the identification, prevention, treatment, and social circumstances of women affected by or at risk for obstetric fistula. While not addressing direct service delivery issues like financial access or transportation, this funding complements existing programmatic efforts to enhance and expedite healthcare during labor, delivery, and postpartum. Obstetric fistula remains a critical maternal and child health challenge, particularly in developing countries, necessitating comprehensive approaches including improved emergency obstetric care and advanced clinical, social, and behavioral interventions.

| 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. |
