Maternal and Child Environmental Health Network
Deadline: 1/20/2017
This announcement solicits applications for the Maternal and Child Environmental Health Network. The purpose of this program is to decrease maternal and child morbidity and mortality associated with pre-and post-natal environmental exposures. One organization will be funded that will implement and support a network of national and regional teratogen information service (TIS) counseling centers. A teratogen is defined as an agent that may induce abnormal embryo or fetal development when administered during pregnancy.[1] This program is intended to be a resource for women of reproductive age, their partners and healthcare providers, with an emphasis on vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations.[2] For the purpose of this program, "post-natal exposure" refers to infants who are receiving breast milk.
Pregnancy in Women with Disabilities
Deadline: January 8th, 2017
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages research project grants (R01) investigating the incidence, course, and outcomes of pregnancy among women with disabilities. Areas of interest also include studies to inform preconceptional and antenatal counseling and strategies for addressing barriers to prenatal care, and management of pregnancy, the puerperium, and the transition to parenthood in order to optimize outcomes for women with physical, intellectual and developmental, and/or sensory disabilities and their families. Applicants are encouraged to include women with disabilities and members of the community in the design and conduct of their research.
