Description

The ACOG Foundation, the charitable arm of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, supports programmatic projects and clinical research that improve obstetric and gynecologic care. Programmatic priorities include reducing preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, advancing equity within the profession, increasing data-driven understanding of ob-gyns to meet patient needs, and supporting public education in a post-Dobbs environment.

The research category seeds clinical studies in an underfunded field, emphasizing integrated clinical and population-based approaches, quality of life, and implementation science rather than basic research. Priority conditions are endometriosis, PCOS, uterine fibroids, and menopause. Across both categories, proposals should support diversity, equity, and inclusion and engage diverse and underserved communities.
