American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Foundation Welcomes Proposals (4/23/25)

Posted: 4/16/2025 ()

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Foundation welcomes programmatic proposals from nonprofit organizations and research proposals from individual researchers working at nonprofits or institutions that advance gynecologic care and increase health equity and access. Full proposals are due to limitedsubs@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Wednesday, April 23, 2025. Proposals are due to the sponsor 6/13/2025 so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 6/4/2025 if given the go‐ahead by the Limited Submissions review committee.

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

Pre-Proposal Instructions:

Please submit as one combined pdf labeled with PI’s Lastname, Firstname:

  1. A one‐page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach.
  2. If the final application requires a diversity statement or statement of broader impacts, please summarize your plans to address the specific requirements on an additional page.
  3. CV (not biosketch) of the PI including past grant funding.
