SFP’s grant 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. We also provide support for research that focuses on social and psychological dimensions of family planning services and programs.
We are currently in our fourth competitive grant funding cycle. The application period ended on April 13, and applications are currently being reviewed. We will be announcing the awards here in June. For 2010, we have approximately $60,000 available for small investigator-initiated grants, $890,000 available for large investigator-initiated grants, and an additional $200,000 earmarked for social science grants.
To get an idea of the types of projects we fund, see the list of past grant awards.
