Description
The Emerging Scholars in Family Planning grant, offered by the Society for Family Planning, is designed to support early-career graduate-level trainees in conducting publishable research projects related to abortion and contraception within the United States. The initiative aims to foster a diverse, equitable, and multidisciplinary research community and to cultivate the next generation of scholars in family planning. Projects must generate empirical evidence with a clear path to advancing just and equitable abortion and contraception, with the potential to inform clinical practice, public policy, or health services delivery. The program emphasizes the importance of scholars reflecting on how their identities and lived experiences inform their research, aligning with the Society's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additional benefits include mentorship, networking opportunities, and support for open-access publication.
