Preeclampsia Foundation 2010 Vision Grant Award Program
The Preeclampsia Foundation is a non-profit patient advocacy organization dedicated to funding research, raising public awareness, and providing support and education for those whose lives have been touched by preeclampsia, HELLP Syndrome, and other hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. The Preeclampsia Foundation is now accepting applications for its Vision Grant Awards. This year we will be awarding up to two research grants, up to $25,000 each.
Vision Grants are small awards intended to provide initial funding for innovative ideas that might otherwise not be pursued due to lack of funding. While preliminary data is not required, careful development of hypothesis based on existing information is expected. Although these awards are ideal for young investigators, they are not limited to young investigators. They should, however, be directed towards novel rather than well established lines of research, and/or have the near-term potential for clinical application.
Focus Areas: Special consideration will be given to ideas that address the Preeclampsia Foundation’s most immediate mission: To stop preventable death and disability of mothers and babies by eliminating delays in diagnosis or implementation of known practices, developing new practices, and helping women and families through the impact of preeclampsia. Consideration will also be given to health services research focused upon the improvement of health care delivery such that improved outcomes are attained. Do not, however, be limited by this focus - we are interested in all innovative, well-considered ideas in the field of preeclampsia
