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 Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) focuses on nurturing early career scholars committed to careers in pediatrics and medical research. It serves as an incubator for developing young scientists’ potential in scientific inquiry within pediatrics, emphasizing flexibility in research proposal requirements and not mandating groundbreaking scientific publications at this stage. The goal is to foster a lifelong dedication to researching fetal, neonatal, and childhood health, with a particular interest in prematurity, neonatal morbidity and mortality, and fetal and neonatal health equity. The grant supports translational research proposals related to pediatrics and its subspecialties. It is funded by a coalition, including the March of Dimes, with each organization supporting specific grant recipients. This program is administered by a host institution and selects about a dozen grant recipients annually.
