Who May Serve as PI: Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
Purpose: This initiative will support multidisciplinary research examining mechanisms underlying racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality and morbidity, testing the efficacy and/or effectiveness of multi-level interventions, and/or research strategies to optimally and sustainably deliver proven-effective prevention and treatment interventions to reduce these disparities.
Research projects can focus on any point across the continuum of care, from preconception care to postpartum care up to 1 year after labor or delivery. Research projects are expected to provide a theoretical framework that addresses the intersection of domains of influence (biological, behavioral, physical, sociocultural, psychosocial, and health care system) and levels of influence (individual, interpersonal, community, and societal).
