Guiding Principles
These are themes that inform all of our goals. When conducting research, all of our funded projects should keep the following in mind:
- Social determinants of health and health equity
- Quality and ease of access to health resources and services
- Making sure the things we do are based in science and improve the science we have
- Speed up the pace at which research findings are put into practice
Goals
The ways that our funded research aim to create change:
Goal 1. Improve the Health System for Mothers and Children
Find gaps in the health care system and improve them by changing the system. Changes include using technology, public health data, and the medical home model of care delivery.

Goal 4. Promote the Health and Well-Being of Families
Learn about what factors impact family health and how to engage the community.
Goal 5. Increase Evidence for Maternal and Child Health Practice
Find the strategies, programs, and interventions that work best and how to best measure their impact.
Goal 6. Support Innovation and Collaboration in Research
Study new technology, methods, and ideas in research, including supporting new researchers with different backgrounds.
