Call for Proposals: March of Dimes Prematurity Research Initiative 2015 Program

Call for Proposals: March of Dimes Prematurity Research Initiative 2015 Program The online Letter of Intent process must be completed by April 15, 2014. This program seeks to advance knowledge in this specific area of prematurity research. The March of Dimes seeks applications requesting grant support for projects related to cause[s] (etiology) of normal labor and preterm labor. The intent is to provide new insights into preventing preterm births; in most cases the cause (and thus potential prevention) remains elusive. Emphasis is upon proposals using technology of or encompassing contemporary technologies of genetic, molecular biology and gene-environment interactions. Especially encouraged are proposals from established investigators heretofore not involved in prematurity prevention research and wishing to enter the prematurity domain. Other MOD programs are more appropriate for investigating medical complications of pregnancy, maternal and neonatal consequences of preterm birth, and social and behavioral ramifications of prematurity. PROCEDURE TO SUBMIT LETTER OF INTENT Potential applicants should submit electronically required administrative information and a Letter of Intent to the Senior Vice President for Research and Global Programs via the MOD’s online system at HTTP://RESEARCHGRANTS.MARCHOFDIMES.COM.
