MOD Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Research Awards

Sponsor: March of Dimes

Deadline: June 30, 2022

Award: “March of Dimes invites requests for applications for impactful research studies that will advance our translational understanding of, or lead to improved clinical treatment of, any serious medical conditions that affect the health of a woman’s pregnancy and/or mothers and newborns within the first year postpartum.

Applications focused on preterm birth and health equity are prioritized. All applications should clearly outline a path from discovery to functional studies to clinical translation. The eventual goal to cure or greatly mitigate conditions that adversely impact the health of pregnant women and newborns is required.

The award is $150,000 for two years, including 10 percent indirect costs to sponsoring institutions.”
