The Prematurity Research Initiative (PRI) - Premature births research

The Prematurity Research Initiative (PRI) is a grant support for projects related to causes of prematurity. Initiated as part of the March of Dimes Prematurity Campaign, these projects aim to provide new insight into the large, and increasing, proportion of premature births in which the causes, and the means of prevention, remain unknown.

The proposals need to consider especially, but not be limited to, genetics, gene-environment interactions, and animal models. We encourage novel approaches. Applicants must be members of not-for-profit institutions.
