Bridge Funding Award

About this program

The Foundation for the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine offers a portfolio of research and education awards—including bridge funding, memorial and scholarship awards, mini-sabbaticals, disparities and global health awards, and a Resident Scholars Program—to advance equitable, optimal pregnancy care. These awards fund pilot research, career development, education, and global health initiatives focused on maternal-fetal medicine priorities such as preterm birth disparities. Eligibility and requirements vary by program but typically target trainees, early-career investigators, and practicing clinicians with a relevant project or educational plan; applications commonly require a proposal, CV, and institutional support and must meet award-specific deadlines and guidelines.
