Changemakers in Family Planning Grant
The Society of Family Planning believes in just and equitable abortion and contraception informed by science.
The society has issued a request for proposals for Changemakers in Family Planning grant, which aims to respond to institutionalized racism in the field of family planning by providing dedicated support for awardees to expand research skills and expertise. The program allows participants to spend 18 months honing research skills and interests and complete career development activities.
Recipients will receive salary support with a total cap of $60,000 for the 18-month award period; up to $10,000 to pay expenses directly related to participation in research skills development opportunities (e.g., program fees, travel expenses); $6,000 to support mentorship contracts (scope of work defined by the mentee) with two mentors ($3,000 each), one scholar-identified (background in family planning not required) and one matched to the scholar by society staff; complimentary membership to the society for two years during the award period (September 2024-26); complimentary registration, hotel, and travel to attend the 2024 and 2025 SFP Annual Meetings; and connections with the cohort of scholars who receive the grant this year, in addition to grantee-only activities designed to build connections within and across cohorts.
Grants are open to scholars who self-identify as a person of color; have completed a terminal degree program within 10 years of submitting an application; have never served as a PI for a family planning research project with a budget of $250,000 or greater, or have never served as a PI for family planning research; and reside in the United States and plan to pursue a research career focused on U.S. research (including territories of the United States).
Grants are made to organizations on behalf of a named principal investigator (PI). A PI need not be a current society member in order to apply. Grants are limited, without exception, to tax-exempt organizations.
