Upcoming Deadlines: January 18, 2022; May 16, 2022
The Stanford Maternal and Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI) Bridge Support aims to provide maternal and child health researchers up to 1 year of funding to aid in the continuation of research projects (NIH R01 or NSF, DOD or other equivalent awards) so that progress may be made to obtain renewed or replacement funding. This funding mechanism is intended to bridge to R01 equivalent grants, or larger NIH grants, i.e. long term funding mechanism (not R21 to R21).
All projects must be significantly related to the health of expectant mothers and children. The applicant can be any practitioner or scientist who has a focus on, or plans to focus on, maternal or child health research.
