Programmatic & Research Submissions

The ACOG Foundation welcomes proposals that address the following topics:

Topic Area 1: Programmatic Submissions 

The ACOG Foundation will accept proposals from nonprofit organizations that implement projects designed to:

• Reduce preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity
• Transform the culture of the obstetrics and gynecology profession to advance health equity
• Increase data-driven understanding of ob-gyns in order to meet patient needs
• Advance public education initiatives in a post-Dobbs environment

Topic Area 2: Research Submissions

The ACOG Foundation will accept proposals from individual researchers working at nonprofit organizations or institutions that advance gynecologic care and increase health equity and access. The Foundation is interested in seeding clinical research projects, given that ob-gyn health research remains underfunded, and therefore invites research studies that integrate clinical and population-based approaches, focus on quality of life, and contribute to the field of implementation science. Basic research projects are not the focus of this request for proposals. The research will be funded over a two-year period. Proposals that address the following conditions will be prioritized:

• Endometriosis
• PCOS
• Uterine Fibroids
• Menopause
