Clinician Educator Grants

The Clinician Educator (CE) Grants Program aims to encourage, develop, and support CEs to pursue impactful and meaningful clinical research for the area of the proposed work. Applications may include involvement of other Allied Health Professionals.

Types of Research: 
Research must be primarily related to maternal child health. “Child” refers to the expectant mother, oocyte, zygote, embryo, fetus, infant, child, and/or adolescent.

Projects must be novel to the field and can be a continuation or expansion of the investigator’s current research.

The following areas of research are eligible:

• Patient-oriented research
• Epidemiological and behavioral studies
• Outcomes research and health services research
