The Society of Family Planning is seeking grant applications to support research projects that generate data on the composition of clinicians providing abortion care in the U.S. and the volume of abortions provided.
Donor Name: Society of Family Planning
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/07/2025
Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000
Grant Duration: 2 Years
Details:
There is widespread consensus that a range of trained clinicians can safely and effectively provide medication and procedural abortion care. This includes physicians, such as obstetricians and gynecologists, family medicine physicians, internists, and doctors of osteopathic medicine, as well as advanced practice clinicians, such as certified nurse-midwives, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants/associates.
This funding opportunity seeks to support research projects that generate data on the composition of clinicians providing abortion care in the US and the volume of abortions provided, ensuring they have the needed information to track and strengthen the abortion care workforce.
Research Focus
- SFP invites proposals positioned to generate quantitative data on
- the composition of clinicians providing medication and procedural abortion care and
- the volume of abortions by clinician type in the post-Dobbs period.
- If feasible, based on the proposed methods, they are also interested in projects that generate data on the training background of physicians (eg, obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine). They recognize that the abortion care workforce includes a broad range of individuals, including those who are not clinicians
- However, for the purposes of this funding opportunity, projects must be specifically focused on clinicians functioning within their licensed scope of practice to provide abortion care
- Projects are encouraged to leverage existing data collection efforts or data sources (eg, electronic health records, claims data). Data must be from the postDobbs period. Proposals positioned to produce findings with the greatest generalizability to US abortion care provided by clinicians under their licensed scope of practice will be given priority
- Proposals must be positioned to produce empirical evidence with a clear, concrete, and strategic path to influencing clinical education and training, public policy, health service delivery systems, and/or other structures that support the abortion care workforce. Teams must be attentive to the Society’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vision.
Funding Information
- They invite proposals for research studies with budgets up to $75,000 that can be completed within 18 months. They anticipate supporting up to four research projects via this funding opportunity.
- Funding is also available to cover processing fees associated with two open-access publications, provided the work is published within two years of grant completion.
Eligibility Criteria
Grants will be made to organizations on behalf of a named principal investigator (PI). Grants are limited, without exception, to tax-exempt organizations. Applicants do not need to be members of the Society. Funding is limited to projects focused on the US.
