Our mission is to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies. We aim to end preventable maternal health risks and deaths, end preventable preterm birth and infant death, and close the health equity gap.
The Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Research Awards support exceptional researchers at the outset or continuation of their independent research careers. These researchers are engaged in translational research that aligns with their interests, aiming to contribute to solving the maternal fetal health crisis in the U.S. This award offers a $150,000 grant over two years and is named after the first MOD Chairman and President. It focuses on investigators conducting research that could lead to significant advancements in clinical treatment of conditions affecting pregnancy health or the health of mothers and newborns in their first year. Projects should address preterm birth and health equity, demonstrating a clear trajectory from discovery research through to clinical applications to address or significantly mitigate conditions that impact the health of pregnant women and newborns.
