Details:
Self-managed abortion is an important option for people seeking to end a pregnancy, especially for those whose healthcare access is constrained by systems of oppression. In the wake of the Dobbs v Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization ruling, the potential need for self-managed abortion and the number of actors seeking to support this route to care has increased. In order to best support people seeking to self manage their abortions, research is needed that centers the perceptions, preferences, and experiences of people that have self-managed their abortions or are considering or seeking self-managed abortion.
Central to this funding opportunity is the understanding that access to abortion is not equitable and people’s social locations (eg, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, gender, age, health, and geography) shape their abortion experiences. As such, proposed research must specifically define and justify the population the research is focused on and bring attention to how social location shapes that population’s experience with abortion. Finally, they encourage research proposals that explicitly contextualize self-managed abortion in context of other routes to care, in the conceptualization of the research project and/or as part of the research design.
Proposed research must be positioned to produce empirical evidence with a clear, concrete, and strategic path to changes in clinical care, public policy, health service delivery, and/or other structures that support people seeking self-managed abortion. Teams must be attentive to the Society’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vision Statement and how they can be part of bringing that vision to life in their work.
Funds and Duration
They invite proposals for research studies with budgets up to $50,000 that can be completed within 12 months of award. They anticipate supporting up to four research projects via this funding opportunity.
