Bridge Support Awards
"I'm very happy and thankful that MCHRI was able to bridge the gap in our NIH R01 funding so that we did not need to shut down operations in Kenya this year and endure significant social capital loss. I am very grateful for the MCHRI Bridge Support, as well as funding that my postdocs have and are receiving through the Postdoctoral Support Program."

"I have really appreciated the financial support for our research program from the MCHRI. The Maternal and Neonatal Safety Learning Lab was initially funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the MCHRI Bridge Funding Award has allowed us to keep up the momentum in pursuing these projects while we await funding from other extramural sources."
