In mid-2011, SFP launched the SFP Research Fund, an associated 501©4 corporation that will take over management of SFP's grant program. This program is intended both to build knowledge and to promote academic excellence in the field of family planning. We support scientific research that can strengthen family planning policies, services and programs in a variety of ways—from advances in underlying conceptual or biomedical knowledge to assessments of programs or policies that will provide family planning more safely, effectively, efficiently, and to wider groups of people in need.
The sixth competitive grant cycle will run from February 1, 2012 through April 12, 2012. You can view the RFPs now; please continue to watch this space for additional details. You can also get an idea of the types of projects we fund by reviewing the list of past grant awards.
All SFP members are eligible to apply. Colleagues that are not currently members of the SFP must apply for membership no later than January 31, 2012, in order to join and become eligible to participate in this funding cycle.
For additional information or questions, please contact Marlo Polonsky by email or at 866 584-6758, ext. 302.
