FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Upcoming R40 Competitions The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Research Program will soon be competing two R40 competitions:
R40 MCH Research (MCHR) Program supports applied research relating to maternal and child health services, using research designs that allow for
strong causal inference such as Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), and that have the potential to improve health services and delivery of care for maternal and child health populations.
R40 MCH Secondary Data Analysis Studies (SDAS) Program supports applied empirical research relating to maternal and child health services, that utilizes exclusively the secondary analysis of existing national databases and/or administrative records. These projects should have the potential to improve health services and delivery of care for maternal and child health populations.
