Preventing Preterm Birth Initiative

Applications for round one grants have closed. Check back for information on future grant opportunities.

Grants to prevent preterm birth            
Each year, more newborns die as a result of preterm birth than from any other cause. Preventing Preterm Birth, a new initiative within the Grand Challenges in Global Health, is providing grants to discover new solutions to ensure healthy births around the world.

The Challenge
Discover biological mechanisms that lead to preterm birth and develop novel interventions to prevent them. Studies should explore gestational origins, biological mechanisms and the immunological response to infection and nutritional deficiency which lead to preterm birth, especially in the developing world.

Thank you for your interest in preventing preterm birth. The submission process for Letters of Inquiry is now closed.
